Ingredients
  

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):

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.
