Smoky Bacon Chili

Ingredients

2 slices bacon, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed fire-roasted tomatoes or regular crushed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup beer
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
1 can (14.5 oz.) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
Sour cream, red onion, and/or cheddar cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, cook bacon, stirring until it just begins to brown, about 4 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened and translucent. Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up, until cooked through. Drain if necessary.
  3. Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, beer, and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 30 minutes.
  4. Add beans and cook 10 minutes, uncovered. Serve warm, with toppings on the side.
