Cook the bacon in a large soup pot over medium heat until crispy, then remove and chop.
Save the bacon grease for added flavor in the chili.
Brown the ground beef and pork in the same pot.
Break up the meat into small pieces for even cooking.

Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
Simmer the chili on low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover the pot partially to prevent splattering.
Add the chili beans and cooked bacon to the pot and simmer for another 30 minutes.
