Preparation

Heat oil in a chili pot over med-high to high heat.
Add the bacon and cook it for a couple of minutes to render its fat.
Add the beef and cook until brown, 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the lumps.
Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, salt and lots of pepper; cook to soften for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, stir together the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and hot sauce.
Add the sauce to the chili to combine, then add the stock; bring to a boil, decrease heat and cook to thicken for 6-7 minutes.
Serve shallow bowls of chili with sour cream and parsley on top.
