Bacon Cheeseburger Chili
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 3 - 4 hours or 7 - 8 hours, plus 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. yellow mustard
One 15-oz. can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
One 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes (not drained)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped bell pepper
1 lb. raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
2 tsp. chopped garlic
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
4 slices center-cut bacon or turkey bacon
7 tbsp. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Optional topping: chopped pickles
Directions
Spray a slow cooker with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Mix until uniform. Add beans, diced tomatoes, onion, and pepper. Stir to coat.
Place raw beef in a slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic, chili powder, and cumin; mix well. Top with saucy veggie mixture, and thoroughly stir, breaking up the meat as much as possible.
Cover and cook on high for 3 - 4 hours or on low for 7 - 8 hours, until beef is fully cooked and veggies have softened.
Stir well.
Cook bacon until crispy, either in a skillet over medium heat or on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave. (See package for cook time.)
Top each serving with 1 tbsp. cheese.
Chop or crumble bacon, and sprinkle over each serving (about 1 tbsp. each).
