  • Dice bacon into small pieces, then add to a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir and cook until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon from pot and drain on paper towels.
  • Add ground beef to the pot and cook until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and smoked sausage, cooking until onion is translucent.
  • Lower the heat and add diced tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, diced tomatoes and green chiles, whole kernel corn, Yukon Gold potatoes, beef broth, cumin, chili powder, and reserved bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Once bubbling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot. Simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally.
