Ingredients

For garnish

  • ½ cup Extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 green onion sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet until just starting to crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat.
  • Crumble the beef and sausage into the skillet and brown. Drain off most of the resulting grease.
  • Stir in the chili seasoning, cumin, garlic salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low.
  • In a large Dutch oven, place the onion, bell peppers, carrots, celery and garlic. Add in the tomatoes, vegetable juice, broth, steak sauce and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat a simmer and continue simmering until the vegetables are tender. The carrots will take the longest to cook.
  • Add the cooked meat, beans and cilantro to the Dutch oven and stir.
  • Crumble the bacon and add to the pot.
  • Simmer for another 30 minutes. Add more salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve with garnishes, if desired.
