INGREDIENTS

For Chili:

  • 1 pound ground beef      BUY NOW
  • 1 can chili beans
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained
  • Chili seasoning (a seasoning packet or make your own)

For Brats:

  • 8 brats        BUY NOW
  • 8 brat buns
  • 2 Tbsp butter, softened but not melted
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I use colby jack)

Optional:

  • Sour cream
  • Sliced jalapenos, as garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

*I cook the chili in advance and make the brats later. If you make it all at once, do steps 4 & 5 while browning the beef.

  1. Preheat oven to 425°
  2. Brown the ground beef over medium heat, drain.
    Tip: Don't drain the fat, and instead cook about 5 minutes longer to absorb flavor!
  3. Add chili seasoning, beans, tomatoes and chiles, and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5-6 minutes. Stir frequently.
  4. Brown the brats on the grill or a nonstick skillet, rotating to cook evenly, about 10 minutes.
  5. Butter the insides of the brat buns and toast them in the oven in a greased 9x13 casserole dish for 3 minutes.
  6. Place brats in buns, top with chili, cover in cheese.
  7. Place in oven for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Top with sour cream and sliced jalapenos, if desired, and serve!
