Prep the meat and veggies and let your slow cooker do its magic. Beef chili with bacon is the perfect hearty meal. Then just add your favorite toppings.
Cook bacon and drain on a paper towel. Then place the bacon in the fridge to be cut up and added to the chili later.
Add your diced onion and bell peppers to the same pan. And sauté in the bacon fat for about 10 minutes.
Then add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Break up the meat with a spatula and incorporating the peppers and onions. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Then transfer the mixture to your slow cooker.
Now stir in the crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir it all up. Set your slow cooker to low for 6-7 hours.
Just before you’re ready to serve stir in apple cider vinegar and cooked chopped bacon. Serve and enjoy.
