Instructions
- In a large dutch oven (or soup pot), cook the ground beef over medium heat until it's completley browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan.
- To the same pan, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy and the fat has rendered out. Remove the bacon, but be sure to leave all of the delicious fat!
- Add the chopped onion to the bacon grease and allow it to soften for 2-3 minutes before adding the garlic.
- In 1-2 minutes, once the garlic smells lovely and fragrant, add the chopped tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, spices, vinegar, broth, pickles, salt and pepper. Stir well!
- Next, add back in the cooked beef, cooked bacon and the chopped white potatoes.
- Allow the chili to come to a boil and then turn it down to low heat and cover wtih a lid. Let the chili simmer (lightly bubble) on the stove for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the chili is thick and delicious!
- Serve in a bowl with as many of the additional toppings as you'd like!
