1. Preheat your grill to high using just 1 burner.
2. Form 4lbs of Ground Beef into 2 loafs, season with your seasoning of choice (e.g., Sweet Smoke seasoning).
3. Cook 1 lb chopped Bacon, then set aside, reserving the bacon grease.
4. Cook 2 Red Bell Peppers and a White Onion in the Bacon Grease until softened. Stir in 6 minced Garlic Cloves.
5. Add the following to the pot with the bell peppers, onion, and garlic: 3x 28 oz cans Country Style Baked Beans, 2x cans Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis, 2 tbsp Cumin, 2 tbsp Garlic Powder, 1/4 cup Chili Powder, 2 tbsp Salt, 2 tbsp Pepper, and the 1 lb Cooked Bacon.
6. Place a wire rack on top of the pot and position your 2 hamburger loafs on the rack.
7. Add a smoke packet (Smoking Chips in a Foil Packet with holes) over the preheated burner.
8. Smoke at 275°F until the Ground Beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F, which took about 2 hours.
9. Crumble the Smoked Ground Beef into the Chili and add 1 cup Beef Broth.
10. Simmer for 1 hour.
11. Serve with optional toppings like Shredded Cheese, Sour Cream, and Chives.
