Dice the bacon into small cubes. In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy and golden brown.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the skillet with the bacon and sauté until they become translucent.
Cut the bell peppers into larger pieces, and dice the tomatoes. Add the bell peppers and tomatoes to the pot.
Season with salt, black pepper, and Hungarian sweet paprika. Mix everything well. If needed, add a little water to help the vegetables soften.
Cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the bell peppers and tomatoes are tender and the lecsó has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
The lecsó is ready! Serve fresh, with fresh bread or rice.
