Bacon Cider Chili

• 3 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cups hard apple cider (such as Samuel Smith(R))
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can pinto beans, drained

1. Place bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat; cook until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion; reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef to the pot; cook and stir until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper; cook for 1 minute.
3. Pour diced tomatoes, apple cider, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until flavors combine, about 30 minutes.
4. Stir pinto beans into the pot. Simmer, uncovered, until beans are heated through, about 10 minutes.
