NO-BEAN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat bacon grease in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot pot until almost browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add garlic, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato puree, water, tomato paste, sugar, and bouillon cube. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 to 60 minutes.
