Fry the bacon in a pan. Drain on paper towels. Add the carrot, celery, and onion to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes. Transfer to the crock pot. Add a teaspoon of oil to the still-hot frying pan and brown the mushrooms, stirring constantly. Add to the vegetables. Heat the remaining oil and brown the two types of ground meat. Also add to the slow cooker. Add the beer and the remaining ingredients, cover, and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serve with pasta of your choice.
