How to Make Sweet Onion Apple And Bratwurst Chili

  1. Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, crumble, and set aside.
  2. Add bratwurst to the pot and cook until browned and slightly crispy around the edges, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion, diced apples, chopped green pepper, and minced garlic to the pot.
  4. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  5. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until melted and incorporated.
  6. Add the chickpeas, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors have melded.
  8. Remove from heat and serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
