Smoky Beef-And-Bacon Chili image

Copied from Sunset Magazine: "Bacon, fire roasted tomatoes, and spicy smoked paprika give this easy-to-make chili a deep, complex flavor. While it's great right after you make it, it's even better the next day. Serve with warm cornbread for a complete meal."

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 slices thick slab bacon

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika

This chili is the worst chili I have ever had. It was watery and tasteless. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I would not recommend this chili. It was bland and flavorless. I ended up throwing it out.

This chili was a disappointment. The beef was tough and the bacon was overcooked. The smoky flavor was also overpowering.

I thought this chili was just okay. The flavor was good, but it was a little too thick for my liking.

This chili was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The beef and bacon were cooked perfectly and the smoky flavor was delicious.

This chili is delicious! The smokiness from the chipotle peppers and the richness from the bacon really make this dish stand out.

I've made this chili a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The beef and bacon are a great combination and the smoky flavor is perfect for a cold day.

This chili was a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the smoky flavor and the bacon added a nice touch of richness. I will definitely be making this again.
