Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate and drain all but 1 1/2 Tablespoons of grease. 01:17 Add onion and pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. 01:33 Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). 01:45 Add beef, breaking apart with a spatula as you cook. Once meat is partially (about 50%) browned, add sugar and all spices (chili powders, paprika, cumin, onion powder, black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper) and stir well. 02:52 Add all remaining ingredients -- beef broth, beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, chilis, and Worcestershire sauce -- and your cooked bacon and stir well. 03:33 Bring to a boil and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. 03:45 Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 30 minutes to allow flavor to really develop. 04:05 Serve with preferred toppings (sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn chips are a must!) Notes *For best flavor, DO NOT OMIT THE BACON. However, as someone who spent 23 years not eating bacon I wanted to include tips for those of you who might have the same restrictions. if you wish to make this recipe without bacon you *can* do so by skipping the first step, heating 1 1/2 Tablespoons of oil over medium heat, and then beginning from step 2. On the other hand, if you want additional bacon for garnishing, cook it now and reserve. **You can substitute one chili powder for the other and use just traditional chili powder or just ancho chili powder, but I personally like the blend of the two. *** This gives the chili a mild spice, if you like more heat increase to 1/4 teaspoon for a moderate spice. Add additional cayenne pepper at your own risk!
