Earl Cooks Leftover Turkey Chili with Black Beans & Sweet Potatoes for Breakfast?

If you're like me, chili doesn't often find it's way to my breakfast table. But my eldest daughter had some delicious leftovers given to her and wanted to share the last of them with me because she's sweet that way. There wasn't enough for my wife and I to both have some, so I thought BREAKFAST! I'll have it for breakfast...It is my favorite meal, but I wondered if the blogosphere had eaten chili for breakfast and boy do they.

Since I was using leftovers, I didn't need a recipe, but made some great modifications that worked to perfection! After reheating the chili and placing it in a bowl, I topped it with some shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. I then placed a perfectly steamed egg on top (runny yolk of course) and added fresh cracked rainbow pepper to the top. I dipped into it with a fresh slice of my wife's homemade broke the golden goodness of the yolk all over it! I couldn't believe how smoothly and fast it went down.

There were several firsts here for me.

  • I had never had chili for breakfast,  
  • never had chili with sweet potatoes and 
  • never had chili topped with an egg
...but I will do all of these things again!
 As I said, I didn't make the chili but here are several links for similar recipes Google found:
