Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 lb. hot Scott Pete Beef Polish Sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 Tbsp. cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. oregano
  • 1 Tbsp. paprika
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped, divided
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (19 oz.) kidney beans
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder
  • 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 c. shredded Tex-Mex cheese blend, divided
  • 2 c. sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. yellow ballpark mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. sliced green onions
  • tortilla chips or baguette toasts, for serving

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium-high heat; cook ground beef, sausage, cumin, oregano and paprika for 10 to 15 minutes or until browned. Drain excess fat. Transfer to slow cooker, reserving 1/4 cup of the beef and sausage mixture.

Add 3/4 cup chopped onion, garlic, tomatoes, kidney beans and chili powder to slow cooker. Cook on High for 3 hours or Low for 6 hours until chili is fragrant and thickened. (Makes about 6 cups.)

Coat 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine 4 cups chili, cream cheese, 3 cups Tex-Mex cheese blend, sour cream, salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking dish; sprinkle with remaining cheese, and reserved beef and sausage mixture. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are bubbling.

Sprinkle with reserved chopped onion; drizzle with mustard. Garnish with green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.

Tips:

  • Substitute Polish Beef Sausage, Hot Polish Sausage or Polish Sausage for Hot Beef Polish Sausage.
  • Use the leftover chili to make nachos.
