Hearty Beef & Sausage Chili

Hearty Beef & Sausage Chili

Hearty Beef and Sausage Chili is one of those cold weather staples and one of the perfect foods for entertaining. For the Super Bowl instead of cooking a huge dinner, I like to make a few tasty appetizers and this Hearty Chili. I love to entertain, and by making a few appetizers and this Hearty Chili, guests can serve themselves. It is a win-win, friends can snack on appetizers and dress up their chili however they like it. And I can enjoy the game and the company of good friends.

I love to set up a fabulous Chili Bar with all the fixings and topping so guest can make their chili exactly how they like it. I have been making this Hearty Beef and Sausage Chili without beans. However, I put out some cooked black beans and kidney beans to the chili bar for those who enjoy beans in their chili.

This recipe is Paleo, Whole 30 and Ketos.

Hearty Beef and Sausage Chili

What you need:

2 Zucchinis

2 yellow squash

1 large onion, or 2 small onions

2 pounds of ground beef

1 pound of Italian sausage (I use hot, but you could use mild if you prefer.)

2- 15 oz can of tomatoes

4 oz can of green chilies

5 carrots

1 head of celery

2-3 jalapenos

3-4 cloves of garlic

3 cups of beef broth

4 tbsp of chili powder

3 tbsp of smoked paprika

2 tbsp of oregano

2 tbsp of basil

2 tbsp of cumin

4 tbsp of cocoa powder

How to:

  1. Chop up zucchini, yellow squash, onion, carrots, celery, jalapenos, and garlic into bit size pieces.
  2. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and sausage, and drain off any fat.
  3. Once the ground beef and sausage is cooked, add to the stockpot the veggies and the cans of tomato & chilies.
  4. Mix together.
  5. Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, basil, cumin, and cocoa powder.
  6. Mix together.
  7. Cover the stockpot and cook for 3 to 4 hours.

For the Chili Bar…

Cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, hot sauce, black & kidney beans, corn chips, and bacon crumbles.

  5. I love your twist on the basic chili recipe. Squash and zucchini in a bowl of chili would really be a great way for the kids to have more vegetables in their diet.

  6. I make a chili with beef and sausage and the hubby really enjoys it. I bet he’d like this one too because it has zucchini in it.

  7. I love chili and soup this time of year! It is quick and easy to make, warms me up and my kids always love eating it. This seems like a great recipe to try out!

  10. With all the meat in this chili the men in my family would be very pleased. Would make for a hearty meal on these cold nights.

  12. I spotted those big chunks of zucchini in your pic and knew this is a recipe I would have to try. I’ve never added zucchini or squash to my chili before BUT I make a mean veggie & beef stew. This is the perfect dish to ward of winter’s chill and fill the house with the nice aromas of a hearty meal.

  13. I love Chili! I have never had it with Squash or Zucchini. I need to make a batch up, it would be perfect right about now. It is pretty cold here in Wisconsin.

  14. I LOVE the idea of setting up a chili bar for guests if you’re hosting a party or a gathering. It makes it all the more fun. This chili is a classic favorite and I’d love to try your recipe.

  15. This sounds delicious. What a comforting winter meal idea. My family will love this.

  16. Oh this is a chili that I could definitely enjoy! It might be a good one to bring to the Super Bowl party I am going to this Sunday. It looks delicious.
