Breakfast Chili

Breakfast chili is a simple, delicious, and filling meal. It makes a great breakfast or a simple breakfast for dinner meal!

My idea for breakfast chili is not original to me. This recipe was inspired by a recipe that I saw on Taste of Home for breakfast chili. We love chili and we love breakfast for dinner, so I knew it was a meal my family would enjoy.

As always though I decided to change up the recipe. The recipe that inspired my version used sausage patties and was seasoned a little differently. I thought a ground breakfast sausage would work better and I changed up the seasonings to make it more chili like.

The end result was delicious! It was a thick and hearty sausage chili that I served with a fried egg. It might seem like a strange combination, but it was so good. You have to try this one.

This would make a great breakfast for a crowd. You could make big pot of the chili ahead of time and just reheat it and serve it with eggs. I think this would be a perfect breakfast for a group of teens or college boys because it is filling and a little different than a normal breakfast.

My favorite way to serve this though is probably breakfast for dinner. It is quick and easy to make and I almost always have the ingredients on hand. It is also normal everyday food that just happens to be gluten free!
