Ingredients:
- 3 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb. ground beef

Add onion, celery, and carrot to pot and cook about 5 minutes until soft, then add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat. Season with salt and pepper.
