Red Chili Candied Bacon

When I took the lid off, it looked really soupy. Then I stirred it, and I realized the consistency was actually just right. So I added the cheese and put the lid back on for a few minutes.  I actually had a little less than a cup, but it had already been shredded, and I didn't feel like shr...
