Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon chopped
- 2 lbs extra lean ground beef
- 1 large green pepper seeded & chopped
- 1 large white onion peeled & diced
- 3 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 3 tbsp chili powder
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 1/2 tbsp dill pickle relish
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 can kidney beans drained & rinsed
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the chopped bacon to a heavy bottomed soup pot, and cook (stirring, as needed) over medium heat until the bacon has crisped.
- Add the ground beef into the pot, and cook (breaking up, and stirring often) until it's cooked through and properly crumbled.
- Add the peppers, onion, and garlic to the pot. Mix until the veggies are evenly combined with the meats, and then continue cooking just until they've softened.
- Season the mixture with the cumin, paprika, and chili powder- stirring to evenly combine. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the ketchup, mustard, relish, & Worcestershire sauce until evenly combined. Now, stir in the tomatoes, beef broth, and beans until evenly combined.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, and allow the cheeseburger chili to simmer, partially covered, for 25- 30 minutes. Don't forget to stir the chili occasionally, and if it looks liquidy at first- it will thicken as it cooks.
- Ladle the hot chili into bowls, and serve them topped with your favorite chili/burger style toppings.
