Step 3

<p>Place bacon in Dutch oven or large saucepan set over medium-high heat; cook bacon for 5 to 7 minutes or until fat is rendered and edges of bacon are crispy. Reduce heat to medium; cook onion, celery, green pepper, garlic, cumin and oregano for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.</p>
