Ingredients

  • 16 ounces breakfast sausage
  • 4 ounces bacon chopped into small pieces
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 20 ounces canned Rotel tomatoes (two cans)
  • 15 ounces chili beans
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce

Instructions

  • Add the breakfast sausage, bacon, and chopped onion to a saute pan or large pot and set over medium high heat on the stovetop. Cook until sausage is browned and bacon is crisp. Stirring as needed.
  • Add the Rotel tomatoes along with any liquid in the can. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any burnt on bits and allow them to incorporate into the chili. Then add the chili beans and tomato sauce.
  • Bring the chili to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes.
  • You can serve the chili immediately, but the flavor is best if it melds in the refrigerator overnight.

Notes

*You can substitute diced tomatoes for Rotel if you don't wish to include peppers.
