This rich, smoky chili brings together three powerhouse proteins—grass-fed beef, spicy Italian sausage, and crispy bacon—for a bowl that's anything but ordinary. The slow-simmered combination creates deep, complex flavors that develop beautifully over two hours of gentle cooking, resulting in a thick, hearty texture that clings perfectly to each spoonful. With its robust tomato base and carefully balanced spices, this chili delivers serious comfort food satisfaction while staying completely grain-free and sugar-free.
Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage in the same pot with the bacon fat over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains and the meat develops a nice sear, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the pot and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. The vegetables should be tender and the onions translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes with their juice, beef stock, and all the seasonings. Return the cooked bacon to the pot and stir everything together thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
