Chorizo Chili
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 6 strips of bacon, chopped
  • 3 oz sausage or hot dog, cut in half circle slices
  • 12 oz chorizo
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb dried beans, cooked
  • salt to taste
  • water or bean liquid to thin out (about 1½ cups)
Instructions
  1. Heat large pot. Add bacon. Cook until crispy, then remove bacon and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.
  2. Add the sausage to the pot. Brown the sausage on both sides. About 5 minutes each side. Remove the sausage and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.
  3. Remove the chorizo from the casing, and add to the pot. Cook for about 5-10 minutes until cooked thoroughly.
  4. When chorizo is cooked through, remove from pot and set aside. Drain oil from the pot except for 3 Tbsp.
  5. Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot. While they are cooking, start scraping the bottom of the pan to remove the brown bits from the bottom. The moisture coming out of the onion and bell pepper will help loosen it. When the onions are soft and translucent, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute.
  6. Add in the beans, bacon, sausage, and chorizo. Add water as necessary to thin out the chili. Add salt to taste (the chorizo and bacon will add lots of salt to the dish, so make sure to taste it!)
  7. Simmer everything together for about 15 minutes so that the flavors meld together. Serve hot and enjoy!
