Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the chili spices to marinade the meat. Fry the bacon. Drain it on paper towels and cut into 1/2" pieces and reserve. Heat two tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and green pepper and cook until the onions are translucent.
