Smoky Beef-And-Bacon Chili image

Copied from Sunset Magazine: "Bacon, fire roasted tomatoes, and spicy smoked paprika give this easy-to-make chili a deep, complex flavor. While it's great right after you make it, it's even better the next day. Serve with warm cornbread for a complete meal."

I found this chili to be a little bland. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.
