Before you jump to Beef & Chorizo Chili recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Deciding on Wholesome Fast Food.
Almost every single “get healthy” and “weight loss” document you study will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. This is really very true. Once in a while, though, you totally do not need to make a full meal for your family or even just for yourself. Sometimes just about all you want is to go to the drive through and get home as quickly as possible. Why shouldn’t you be able to do this every so often and not have a bunch of guilt about slipping up on your diet? You are able to do this because lots of the popular joints are now marketing “healthy” menu selections to keep their businesses up. Here is how to eat healthy and balanced when you reach the drive through.
Choose a drive through based on whether or not it has more healthy options available. Arby’s as an example, does not provide burgers. Instead you can choose from roast beef sandwiches, salads, wraps as well as other healthier items. While Wendy’s has served hamburgers for decades, additionally they have plenty of other healthy options like salads, baked potatoes and chili. Most fast food eating places usually do not stoop to the harmful lows seen at McDonalds.
Logic states that that one the simplest way to stay balanced is to avoid the drive through and never eat fast food. Most of the time this is a good concept but if you make beneficial choices, there’s no reason you can’t visit your drive through from time to time. Sometimes the thing you need is to let someone else make your dinner. There isn’t any reason to feel bad about visiting the drive through when you make healthful decisions!
We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to beef & chorizo chili recipe. You can cook beef & chorizo chili using 11 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you do that.
The ingredients needed to prepare Beef & Chorizo Chili:
- Take 1 lb ground beef
- Provide 1 lb Mexican style chorizo (I used homemade)
- Get 1 medium onion - chopped
- Use 2 (28 oz) cans whole tomatoes - 1 can drained
- You need 2 (14.5 oz) cans dark red kidney beans - drained and rinsed
- Use 1 (14.5 oz) can black beans - drained and rinsed
- Provide 1 (8.75 oz) can whole kernel corn
- Take 1 can El Pato hot tomato sauce (Yes, Pato, not Paso)
- Take 2 packets chili seasoning (or use homemade to taste)
- Provide 2 tbs ketchup (optional)
- Take Hot sauce (optional, amount is to personal taste)
Instructions to make Beef & Chorizo Chili:
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add chorizo. Crumble to large chunks and begin to brown, stirring often.
- When chorizo is almost done move to one side of pot. Add ground beef to empty side. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Crumble and brown, stirring often (just the beef side).
- When beef is almost done. Add onion. Stir meats and onion together. Allow meats to finish cooking. About 2 minutes.
- Add beans, corn, El Pato sauce, and tomatoes. Do not stir yet. Smash tomatoes by hand directly in the pot. Add chili seasoning and additional salt to taste. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer. Place lid on top slightly off center to vent. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer 1 hr stirring occasionally.
- Just before serving stir in ketchup and desired amount of your favorite hot sauce if you'd like. Taste. Adjust salt if needed. Dish up and enjoy!
- For tips, see NOTES below ⤵
- NOTE: If you feel nervous about smashing up the tomatoes in the pot (like you could burn yourself, which you shouldn't because you shouldn't be submerging your hand into anything) smash them up in a separate bowl before adding. I just do them directly in the pot to save a dish. It is wise, though, to utilize your pot lid as a shield to prevent squinting everything with tomato juice and seeds. Lol
- NOTE 2: If you can't find El Pato brand hot tomato sauce in your local market any brand of hot tomato sauce will do (you just need a small can). We just really think El Pato is the best.
- NOTE 3: For a tasty homemade chili seasoning see the recipe for "chilly chili seasoning' on my page.
