Bacon Cheeseburger Chili

Ingredients:

• 1 lb extra-lean ground beef
• 6 slices center-cut bacon, diced
• 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 3 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/4 cup reduced-sugar ketchup
• 3 tbsp dill pickle relish
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp Frank's hot sauce
• 1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 can (14 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat. Cook until crispy, then drain any excess grease.
2. Brown the beef. Drain any excess grease, but leave a little bit.
3. Add the green pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables soften and start to brown, about 7-10 minutes.
4. Add in the spices and cook for about 1 minute.
5. Add ketchup, dill relish, Worcestershire, mustard, and hot sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
6. Stir in tomatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 20-25 minutes.
