Cut the bacon into 1” pieces and place in a large stock pot
Turn heat on low and allow the bacon to slowly soften and render, about 10 minutes. Turn the heat to medium and move bacon around the pot. We don’t want it crisping up. Cook another 10 minutes. Remove to dish, leave drippings.
Add garlic, onions, jalapenos, & oregano to pot and cook on med low until onions are soft.
Add ground pork and beef, break apart and allow to cook through, stirring often and breaking up the larger pieces. Raise heat to medium
