Breakfast Chili
WHERE TO GET INGREDIENTS FOR BREAKFAST CHILI
If you haven’t noticed, I do not allow advertising on my site.
I just didn’t agree with some of the products that were advertised. They were keto products, but they were unhealthy and I would never personally eat most of the products. It was hard to say no to blog advertisements; they pay thousands of dollars a month, but I just felt uncomfortable about having the products I didn’t recommend on my website.
Instead, I have created a shopping list where you can find all the healthy ingredients that are difficult to find in the grocery store (and if you do find them, they are often very expensive).
I have done a lot of detective work and found the lowest prices on for all of the products I use and love. Everything from food, pantry items, kitchen tools, supplements, and skin products are on my list.
I rarely waste time in the grocery store because I find everything online for a way better price!
All you have to do is click on the words in my recipes and it will take you right to the correct item. If you add them to your cart I get a tiny commission that helps me afford to keep practicing recipes (Recipe experimenting can costing me a fortune!…but I love helping!).
I also have GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS on the list!
You can get my full shipping list HERE.
You all know I do not like wasting time driving to the store and hanging out in a florescent light store and waiting in line! Not my idea of a good time. That is why I get most of my ingredients mailed to me and my FAVORITE delivery is Butcherbox! I get a box twice a month because my carnivore family primarily eats all the delicious things in a Butcherbox box!

CHILI:
- 2 pounds ground beef 85% lean
- 1 pound Butcherbox Italian Sausage OR Chorizo
- 4 cups tomato sauce preferably homemade organic or from a glass jar
- 1/2 medium yellow onion chopped
- 3 stalks celery chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 2 medium green chile peppers seeded and chopped
- 2 slices sugar free bacon
- 1 cup organic beef broth homemade broth is best: I always store extra in my freezer
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons Fresh Basil Leaves chopped
- 1 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
TOPPINGS:
- 8 large eggs fried
- 1 medium avocado cubed into 1 cm chunks
- 4 strips sugar free bacon fried and crumbled
BREAD BOWL (Optional, not included in Nutritional Info):
- 3 large eggs separated
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup Jay Robb Unflavored Egg White Protein Powder
- 3 oz Sour Cream or cream cheese, or yolks if dairy sensitive
Instructions
- Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck, bacon and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease. Pour in the tomato sauce. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, and broth. Season with chili powder, garlic, oregano, cumin, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, and paprika. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally. After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day. Top with a fried egg, avocado and bacon pieces.
- To make the Bread Bowl: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Separate the eggs (reserve the yolks). In a clean and dry bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff. Then add the protein powder until smooth. Using a spatula, gradually fold the cream cheese/sour cream into the white mixture (OR YOLKS if dairy sensitive), being careful not to break down the whites. Grease muffin tins and spoon the mixture into the pan (forming a dip in the middle), making 12 medium bowls or 24 mini bowls. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. You may need to put the center down once they come out so you can fill it with chili.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
“My story begins in February. I had lost 20 pounds on my own and weighed 301 pounds at the time. I don’t usually disclose my weight, but if sharing my story can change even one person’s life, then it is absolutely worth it.
After losing those first 20 pounds, I signed up for Maria’s March 2024 weight loss challenge. I ended up being a March challenge winner, which was incredibly exciting and motivating. After the challenge ended, I continued on my own—and I have remained motivated this entire time. I absolutely love all the food choices I have.
To date, I am down 140 pounds and many inches.
Why the Emmerichs? For me, it was a simple choice. When I read the testimonials, I saw so many stories of diseases being reversed. That alone was eye-opening and something I wanted to be a part of. I’m now 50 years old, and if I can be healthier, then yes—sign me up. It was truly a no-brainer. As my dad always says, “Your health is your wealth.”
I’ve tried many other weight loss plans in the past. During one program, I tore both menisci and ended up on a cane. My severe osteoarthritis was debilitating. Today, that osteoarthritis is in remission, and I honestly have never felt better.
I currently weigh 161 pounds, and this journey took a little over a year and a half. Am I finished? Of course not. My ultimate goal is 130 pounds, and I’m excited to keep going.“ Kara

Hi-what is the difference between the 30 day and the accelerated 30 day meal plan packages? Thx in advance!
The Accelerated package gives you more instructional videos (Supercharge class), all the ebooks (there is an option to get it without ebooks if you like) and have even more refined pure protein and fat meal plans that include intermittent fasting, over eating days, workout suggestions and are 100% nut and dairy free. They get you keto adapted (fat burning mode) quicker to help you lose weight or heal faster. 🙂
Good Questions Kim…I was thinking the same thing??? Although, I am planning to buy the $300.00 plan and get the whole shebang!
Love all your books and all the fab info you post here for us to learn and learn! My question is…..if one no longer has a gallbladder ,,,how does all this increased fat intake effect the liver,,,,fatty liver, etc. As after the gallbladder is removed the Dr.s specifically say,,,,,low fat, stay away from fatty foods, etc.,etc. If you have a post on your blog about effects of this lifestyle on people WITHOUT a gallbladder ,,,or any study that you could link to, etc…I’d really appreciate reading up on this aspect before I purchase some of your classes……thanks again..
Thanks! Fructose is what you want to stay away from. That is what causes fatty liver, not dietary fat. Increasing dietary fat (and reducing carb and fructose intake) will reduce fat in the liver. 😉
how do you freeze the herbs? Do you just clean them and pull from the stem and place in freezer bag? Or do you freeze in ice cube trays with water?
Some can just be frozen as is. Some like parsley will go black if frozen alone so you want to chop, put in ice cube tray with a little MCT oil or butter, then freeze. Then you just grab a cube to use in a recipe.
(The smell of your Amazing Maria bread baking in the background) “Hibernating mammals will double their weight and fat in the fall in preparation for winter”
Maybe us fatties need to start hibernating NOW to get our bodies in shape for bikini season? 🙂
Gotta go–the oven alarm just went off…
LOL!

The Chili looks wonderful. My husband eats soup + Rotisserie chicken wings every morning. A creature of habit that knows what works for him.
This is a little off topic, but I have been trying to find the place where Craig listed a daily example of what he eats to be in ketosis? Could you point me to this? Do you also have an example posted for you? Thanks so much.
Here you go. 🙂

Hi Maria, thanks for another wonderful post.
Just one question, why tomato sauce from a glass jar specifically?
Thanks
Sarah.
It is just preferred because glass is a better container (many aluminum cans are lined with a thin layer of plastic). 😉
Is there anything you’ve used to make a vegetarian version (of course w/o beans!)? I made your chili & Sloppy Joe’s for some friends a few weeks back & everyone LOVED it! I also made a vegetarian version of the Sloppy Joe’s, but I used crumbles from the brand Quorn. In case you aren’t familiar, the main ingredient in quorn is mycoprotien (myco is Greek for fungi). The mycoprotein comes from fusarium venentaum, which was discovered in England, in the late 1960’s. Quorn is not suitable for vegans because it contains ingredients derived from eggs.
The mix of seasonings in this chili is awesome! Perfect for this icy cold night in Texas.
I added a can of black soy beans…didn’t want to waste them after spending so much on the can.
Thanks!
I made this for the first time tonight…it’s delicious 🙂 and I love love how easy it is!
Thanks for another great recipe 🙂
Thanks!
I have been making this chili on a regular basis because my family likes it so much. I made some for Super Bowl Sunday and sent some home with friends. They told me today that I needed to make it for them at least 2 more times just to make sure it was good. Then, they said it was the best chili they have ever eaten!! I would have to agree!!!!
Awesome! Thank you! 🙂
I made this over the weekend, and it was absolutely fantastic. My husband loved it especially. He wants me to make a large batch and freeze it, so we have meals at the ready. Thank you.
Thanks!
This chili recipe is what sold my husband on eating the Maria Way with me. Now we make it every other weekend to allow for quick weeknight meals. Thank you!
Thank you! 🙂
