John Henrys Bacon Burger Chili

Ingredients

• 3 lbs John Henry’s Bacon Burger

• 4 cups beef bone broth (prepared)

• 3 medium onions

• 3 bell peppers

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

• 3 cans medium chili beans

• 1 can dark kidney beans

• 1 box red pepper & tomato soup

• 2 tsp chili powder

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp pepper

• Shredded cheese (optional garnish)

• Sour cream (optional garnish)

 Instructions

1. In a large stock pot, combine 2 cups beef broth and the bacon burger. Cook on medium, breaking apart the meat as it browns.

2. Dice onions and peppers, mince garlic (or pulse in a food processor), and add to the pot.

3. Pour in the remaining 2 cups of broth. Turn heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add tomato sauce, chili beans, kidney beans, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

5. Simmer uncovered on low for 45 minutes, stirring now and then to avoid sticking. Let the mixture reduce slightly.

6. Stir in 3/4 of the box of red pepper & tomato soup. Simmer for another 30–60 minutes, uncovered.

7. Remove from heat and let chili rest for 1 hour before serving — this helps the flavors come together.

8. Garnish with shredded cheese and sour cream, if desired.
