Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices bacon not thickcut
  • 1 package kielbasa cut into ½-inch slices
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cans ranch-style beans with their liquid
  • 1 can sweet corn drained

Instructions
 

  • In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the kielbasa to the drippings in the pot and cook until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to the plate with the bacon.
  • Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of fat.
  • Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic to the drippings in the pot and cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the flour, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the flour smells toasty, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken broth, beans (with their liquid), corn, and bring to a boil.
  • Return the bacon and sausage to the pot.
