Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices Center Cut Bacon
- 1 White Onion, finely diced
- 1 Poblano or Bell Pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced or grated
- 1 pound raw Turkey Breakfast Sausage
- 1 packet Chili Seasoning
- 28 oz can Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes
- 3–4 cups Beef Broth
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Start by tossing those glorious bacon slices into a Dutch oven or a cozy soup pot over medium heat. Let the bacon sizzle until it’s gloriously crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain and save all that delectable grease for the next steps!
- Sauté the Veggies: In the remaining bacon grease (because, let’s be real, we’re not wasting that!), toss in the finely diced onion and pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened and the kitchen starts to smell divine. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Brown the Sausage: Now it’s time for that turkey breakfast sausage! Crumble it into the pot and cook it through. The more browning, the more flavor.
- Mix It All Together: Add the chili seasoning, crushed tomatoes, and enough beef broth to reach your desired consistency (3-4 cups should do it). Crumble the crispy bacon back into the pot and stir until everything is well combined.
- Simmer Away: Bring everything to a boil and then reduce to a low simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer away for 45-60 minutes. The longer you let it sit, the more the flavors meld together. You’ve got the time, right?
- Serve and Enjoy: Ready to serve? Dish it out with a side of crispy hash browns or pan-fried eggs. Feeling adventurous? Crack those eggs right on top and pop the whole dish in a preheated oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Top with your favorite goodies like diced avocado or a sprinkle of cheese!
Notes
- Don’t worry if your chili looks a little lumpy—it’s all part of the charm! Embrace that rustic kitchen vibe!
- If you can’t find turkey sausage, swap it with cooked sausage crumbles or even ground chicken. No judgment here; we adapt, we flourish!
- Feel free to experiment with spices if you’re looking for something with a bit more heat. You do you!
