What you need:
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 lb. ground beef
- Salt and pepper
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced (omit if spicy isn't your thing)
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. hot sauce (use a few dashes for more sensitive pallets)
- 4 hamburger buns, toasted, if desired
- Pickled jalapenos, for serving, if desired

Directions:
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add bacon and cook until crisp, stirring often. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Reserve 2 tsp. bacon grease in skillet and discard the rest (or save in a mason jar for later use!).
- Add ground beef to skillet and crumble and cook until browned. Drain, if needed.
- Add onion, jalapeno, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and coriander. Cook for about 5 minutes or until vegetables have softened.
- Add bacon, beef broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and hot sauce.
- Once bubbling, cook until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir to prevent burning.
- Serve on toasted buns topped with pickled jalapenos (if desired) and Fritos.
