Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meats

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and pork sausage, breaking them apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate pan, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and crumble into small pieces.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the meats are cooking, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the bell pepper into small pieces.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine All Ingredients

    In the same skillet with the cooked meats, add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until vegetables are softened.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese and Bacon

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Then, fold in the crumbled bacon.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve with Tortilla Chips

    Serve the meat mixture warm with tortilla chips on the side. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
