Easy Spicy Chili

**UPDATE: Apparently I had originally posted this with a 14oz can of tomatoes, it's supposed to be a 28oz can. So sorry! That makes a big difference!**

4 slices bacon, cut into 1inch pieces
2tbsp vegetable or olive oil
1tbsp montreal steak seasoning(or favorite grill seasoning)
2lbs lean ground beef
1 med yellow onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1tbsp chipotle chili powder(next to reg. chili powder on spice aisle)
6oz beer
28oz can of fire roasted tomatoes, crushed(muir glen makes a good one)

In a large, heavy bottom, pot: add oil and cook bacon on med. heat until tasty. Remove bacon pieces to paper towel, leave drippings in pot. Add ground beef, break up, and sprinkle grill seasoning on top. Mix it up and let cook for 3-5min.

Add onion, pepper, garlic, chili powder. Mix well and let cook until onions and peppers are tender. Aprox 10min. Deglaze pan with beer, scraping all the brown tasty pieces off the bottom of the pan and up into the mixture.

Add tomatoes, simmer for 10-1000 min, stirring occasionally. This can be eaten immediately or let it simmer for a few hours. Either way it's good!(Rachel Ray Recipe)
