Ingredients
-
1 pound Turkey Bacon
-
1 tablespoon tallow or Turkey Bacon grease (for the pot)
-
1 pound boneless sirloin (cut into bite-sized chunks)
-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
-
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
-
2 cups beef broth (homemade or store-bought)
-
Kosher salt (to taste)
Instructions
-
Cook the Turkey Bacon until crispy using either the stovetop or oven method. Reserve ¼ cup for garnish.
-
Heat a medium Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add tallow or Turkey Bacon grease.
-
Sear sirloin chunks for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
Add ground beef with optional spices. Cook for about 15 minutes, breaking it apart until fully browned.
-
Return the sirloin to the pot and pour in beef broth. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
-
Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to meld flavors and tenderize the meat.
-
Crumble cooked Turkey Bacon into the chili, saving some for topping. Stir well.
-
Taste and season with salt as needed.
-
Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and Turkey Bacon if desired.
Notes
-
Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt, since bacon and broth are already salty.
-
For extra flavor, substitute beef bone broth for regular broth.
-
This chili stores well and tastes even better the next day.
