- 1/2 of a White Onion small
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 of a Red Pepper

First fry the bacon until crispy and set aside for later. Brown the ground beef and sausage together next over medium-high heat in a large pot or skillet.
Drain the fat from pot and add the diced onion and celery, minced garlic and chopped peppers to the pot. Let cook while stiring for 4 - 5 mins, then add the spices.
Add the canned diced tomatoes and let simmer for 20 minutes, stiring a few times throughout. Next add the tomato paste to the pot and stir until it's fully combined. Reduce to low heat and simmer uncovered for another 15 - 20 minutes or until chili reaches desired thickness. Then chop up the bacon and add to the chili before serving.
