Time 2h

Yield 3 quarts, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb bacon
2 diced onions
2 bell peppers
6 garlic cloves
2 lbs ground beef
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
3 cups beef broth
28 ounces crushed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages chili seasoning mix

Steps:

Place bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until crisp and cooked through. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate use remaining grease to fry onions & peppers. Crumble cooked bacon & put aside.
Add onion and pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add beef, breaking apart with a spatula as you cook. Once meat is partially (about 50%) browned, add sugar and all spices and stir well.
Add all remaining ingredients - beef broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, chilis, and Worcestershire sauce - and your cooked bacon and stir well.
Bring to a boil and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 60 minutes to allow flavor to really develop.
Serve with preferred toppings (sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn chips are a must!).
NOTE: this is best served a day or even 2 later!
