Bacon and Beef Chili

5 strips bacon
1 yellow onion, diced
1 red, yellow or orange pepper, diced
1 lb ground grass-fed beef
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tbls chili powder
1 tbls ancho chili powder
1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
Pinch or two of cayenne pepper (if needing extra heat)
1 cup beef broth
1 can black beans
1 can chili beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tbls Worcestershire sauce
Optional toppings: minced onion, shredded cheese and Greek yogurt

Set the Instapot to sauté (or just cook in a pot over the stove). Cook the bacon, until just before crispy. Remove the bacon, keep about a spoonful of grease. Add in the diced onions and peppers, sauté about 5 minutes to soften. Add in the ground beef to brown while breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

Add in the garlic and all the spices, simmer for a minute. Deglaze the pan with the broth. Add in the black and chili beans, the tomatoes and the Worcestershire sauce. Set the Instapot to slow cook for at least 1 hour; or if making on the stove, cover with a lid and simmer on the lowest setting.

Taste and adjust salt or seasonings as needed. Top with any toppings and enjoy!
