1x2x3x

• 1 lb. ground beef 80/20
• 6 slices bacon chopped
• 1 cup beef broth
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
• 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

 

• In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy.
• Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the grease in the pan.
• Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
• Drain excess grease if needed, then stir in the cooked bacon.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce.
If you prefer a thicker chili, reduce the beef broth slightly or let it simmer longer.
For extra richness, mix in a little shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
This chili is perfect for meal prep and tastes even better the next day.
