Maple Bacon Chili

"I pulled out a couple of fun tricks for this Maple Bacon Chili. For starters, there’s a bit of maple syrup in there. But not too much. There’s just enough maple syrup to add a touch of sweetness to the chili without it tasting like breakfast. But the maple goodness doesn’t stop there! I topped this chili with maple candied bacon. If you’ve never had maple candied bacon, then stop reading right now and go make a batch. (I’m not kidding!) And my last trick for this Maple Bacon Chili was using a combination of ground beef and ground Italian sausage. Add in a couple cans of beans, and you’ve got the recipe for a delicious bowl of chili!"
