Chili with Eggs

This post may contain affiliate links, read our disclosure policy.

Chili with eggs (breakfast chili if you will) is a deeply soul satisfying way to start the day and, in my opinion, the best way to enjoy leftover chili!

Often times I’m barely ready for breakfast at lunch time (I can’t eat when I first get up – it’s a thing).  So chili with eggs is my way of joining the menfolk (and Josie!) in their game day eating, with a bit of a “morning” twist.

It would also be excellent as a breakfast for dinner dish, or a game day breakfast for those on the west coast who have to watch the games at weirdly early hours! Or, hey.  Here’s a novel idea – just for regular breakfast!  Serve this with a crusty French baguette!

Chili with Eggs Ingredients

  • Your favorite chili (allow me to introduce you to a few that I love: Chili (no beans), Wendy’s copycat chili, and Ground turkey chili).
  • Eggs I love making this fried egg style so the yolk runs when I eat it, but if that’s not your jam then go ahead and make it with a scrambled egg or three!
  • Optional: cheese, sour cream, scallions, cilantro, hot sauce

How do you make chili with cracked eggs? (step-by-step directions)

First, bring chili to a simmer on the stove top. If it’s too thick for your liking, add a cup of beef broth, chicken broth, or water.

Then, crack eggs into simmering chili and cover until eggs are cooked to your liking.

Recommended Tools

  • Farberware 16 quart covered stock pot – You can’t beat a good heavy stock pot and this one has happily graced my kitchen for years now.
  • 7 quart Crock Pot – Most soup and chili recipes can be converted back and forth from stove-top to slow cooker.  This is the slow cooker we got for our wedding in 2003 and it’s still kicking butt!
  • Giant soup bowls – Because why would you eat chili out of a small bowl?
  • 4 cup glass measuring cup – Everyone needs a good measuring cup!
  • Stainless steel measuring spoons – I have a really bad habit of melting plastic measuring spoons, so we’ve recently purchased these stainless steel ones and they’ve been great.  I also love that they don’t absorb odors.  I’m looking at you, curry.
