In a large skillet, cook the bacon until 3/4 the way done. Drain almost all of the grease. Add the onion, pepper, and garlic and cook until softened, ~5-10 mins. Add the ground beef and cook until done, mixing in the bacon, onion, pepper, and garlic. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, and cook for another ~5 mins or until thickened. Serve with buns. Can also be transferred to a crockpot and kept warm to serve.
