Cajun Chili Recipe

this is the BEST Cajun chili recipe! It’s a tomato-based chili made with ground turkey and Andouille sausage (a must for anything Creole). I got the chili started with a mirepoix- another Creole classic.

This is a mix of onions, celery, and green peppers. Most of the remaining ingredients in this chili recipe are pantry staples.

The only exception would be the Robert Rothschild Farm White Wine Creole Sauce. I can find their products with the salad dressings in my grocery store.

Everything in this little condiment powerhouse is from farm to table to your belly! While you can probably get away with making this chili with an extra can of tomatoes it would be boring, so don’t do it. Take my advice and use this sauce! This sauce gives this chili an authentic Creole zing and flair. It’s organic and tastes wholesome, tangy, and delicious!

FAQs

What can I use instead of frozen vegetables?

If you don’t wish to use a frozen blend of cut celery, onions and carrots you can always just use fresh cut by washing and chopping your own. This will add an extra minute or two to the cooking process but the textures maybe even better. I like the convenience of the frozen bags though. Use about 1 small onion (1 cup, and 2 celery stalks, and 2 medium carrots if you won’t be using the bag of the frozen blend.
