Spicy Chili Half Smoke Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sausages

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the half smoke sausages and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Ground Beef

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed, then add the ground beef. Cook over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.

   Add Vegetables

   Add chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

4. 4

   Season the Mixture

   Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat and vegetables with the spices.

   Mix in the pinto beans, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
