For the Chili
  • 4 slices Center Cut Bacon Adds savory flavor; substitute with thick-cut bacon if needed.

  • 1 pound Turkey Breakfast Sausage Main protein source; substitute with pork sausage if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Seasoning Use homemade or store-bought for ease.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Breakfast Chili and Eggs
  1. In a large Dutch oven, cook 4 slices of center-cut bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain, leaving grease in the pot.
  2. Add 1 diced white onion and 1 diced poblano pepper to the Dutch oven, sauté in the bacon grease over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds.
  3. Add 1 pound of turkey breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Stir in 1 can (28 oz) of fire-roasted crushed tomatoes and 1 cup of beef broth, followed by the crumbled bacon. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally to thicken.
  6. Brown eggs in a separate pan, ladle chili into bowls, and top with a fried egg.
