This is a delicious and fairly easy to assemble dish that is always a family pleaser. Super flavorful without being super spicy, and the bacon adds not only a really nice taste, but also that little bit of bite beanless chili is usually missing.

I love making this on days when I have a lot going on and not a lot of time to cook. And with the seasons changing, there is nothing more comforting than coming home to a steaming bowl of delicious chili.
