    Hearty Beef & Sausage Chili

    Hearty Beef and Sausage Chili is one of those cold weather staples and one of the perfect foods for entertaining. For the Super Bowl instead of cooking a huge dinner, I like to make a few tasty appetizers and this Hearty Chili. I love to entertain, and by making a few appetizers and this Hearty Chili, guests can serve themselves. It is a win-win, friends can snack on appetizers and dress up their chili however they like it. And I can enjoy the game and the company of good friends.

    I love to set up a fabulous Chili Bar with all the fixings and topping so guest can make their chili exactly how they like it. I have been making this Hearty Beef and Sausage Chili without beans. However, I put out some cooked black beans and kidney beans to the chili bar for those who enjoy beans in their chili.

    This recipe is Paleo, Whole 30 and Ketos.

    3. I love the idea of having some other vegetables like Zuchinni and squash. I would love to try to cook for myself first and see how will it taste. If successful, then time to share with friends. haha!

    4. This is looking so good right now that it’s freezing here at my neck of the woods. I made a pot of chili last week and it was a hit, my husband asked if we have leftover of it yesterday.

    5. I love your twist on the basic chili recipe. Squash and zucchini in a bowl of chili would really be a great way for the kids to have more vegetables in their diet.

    7. I love chili and soup this time of year! It is quick and easy to make, warms me up and my kids always love eating it. This seems like a great recipe to try out!

    8. This is such a timely post for me. We are hosting a chili cookoff this weekend and haven’t zeroed in on a great recipe yet. Can’t wait to try it!

    9. That looks good. I like doing things like this too so people can serve themselves and it doesn’t tie you to the kitchen as the hostess. Looks delicious!

    10. With all the meat in this chili the men in my family would be very pleased. Would make for a hearty meal on these cold nights.

    12. I spotted those big chunks of zucchini in your pic and knew this is a recipe I would have to try. I’ve never added zucchini or squash to my chili before BUT I make a mean veggie & beef stew. This is the perfect dish to ward of winter’s chill and fill the house with the nice aromas of a hearty meal.

    13. I love Chili! I have never had it with Squash or Zucchini. I need to make a batch up, it would be perfect right about now. It is pretty cold here in Wisconsin.

    14. I LOVE the idea of setting up a chili bar for guests if you’re hosting a party or a gathering. It makes it all the more fun. This chili is a classic favorite and I’d love to try your recipe.

    16. Oh this is a chili that I could definitely enjoy! It might be a good one to bring to the Super Bowl party I am going to this Sunday. It looks delicious.

    17. Oh yum! I just love a good chili when it is cold outside. I have a recipe I always make, but I might have to try this one. I like that it has sausage!
