- Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat.
- When the bacon is soft and just starting to brown, add the onion and a pinch of salt.
- Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened.
- Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to take on a little color.
- Increase the heat to medium and add the meat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and breaking up any large clumps, until it loses all of its pinkness and is cooked through.

- Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Taste for spiciness and add the paprika and/or cayenne if desired.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and clear a space in the middle of the pan.

- Add the wine and broth and stir to combine.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is glossy and has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
