Chili 🌶

  • 1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 6 oz tomato paste 
  • 1 can rotel 
  • 4 cans water using the rotel can

  • Jalapeños
Directions:
  1. Brown bison, sausage and garlic together.
  2. Add all other ingredients.
  3. Bring to a boil then simmer for 20 min. 

Top with your favorites! 😋 I like The Spice Hunter spices (both Spicy Chili and Spicy Taco) because they are clean…no maltodextrin. The spicy chili has a little cane sugar…but it is second to last on the ingredients. 

Chili Cheese Dogs

I cooked up the KETO chili and pan seared some hot dogs. Topped with cheese, sour cream, jalapeños and mustard. 

Tastes just like the real thing. We didn’t even miss the bread!  😋
