Beef with bacon and spices

Description

Cook bacon over medium heat in a skillet until it begins to turn brown, about 4 minutes. Add onion and garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add red pepper, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and ground beef. Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the beef is fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Stir in water, cornmeal, and vinegar, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens, about 20 minutes. Add a little water if needed. Serve hot with chopped chili, onion, shredded cheese, lime wedges, and sour cream.
