Ingredients
Scale
Meats
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground lamb
Liquids and Sauces
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste (natural)
Spices
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (natural)
Instructions
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Start by frying the smoked turkey bacon in a large pot over medium heat until it is crispy and fragrant. This builds the foundation of flavor with the smoky aroma.
- Brown the Ground Meats: Add the ground beef and ground lamb to the pot, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Cook until browned evenly and no longer pink, allowing the natural juices to release for a rich base.
- Incorporate the Flavors: Stir in the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), tomato paste (natural), paprika (natural), and chili powder (natural). Cook for a few minutes to toast the spices and deepen the flavor.
- Add the Broth and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook on low heat for at least 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld the flavors.
- Final Taste and Adjustments: After simmering, taste the chili and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. For a thicker consistency, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality ground beef and lamb for a tender chili.
- Simmer gently to unlock the best taste and texture.
- Add spices during cooking to deepen flavor.
- Ensure the turkey bacon is crispy to add contrast.
- Let chili rest off heat for five minutes before serving to settle flavors.
