Beef Chili with Bacon

Beef Chili with Bacon

"Excellent" rating from Rick and he doesn't even like chili, maybe it was the addition of the bacon.  This was a great meal for a cold and snowy day.  There are really no fancy ingredients in this recipe.  Four slices of bacon, ground beef, onions, peppers, a can of beans and a few spices made this an easy prep. However, do note that the simmer time on this recipe is a bit longer than other recipes in The Complete Cooking For Two Cookbook.  The soup needs to simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes.  I added some gluten free pasta, fresh avocado and a few chips to make lunch on this snowy day.
