beef

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork

Pork can be more affordable and still flavorful.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while smoked sausage can be cheaper.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Place the tomatillos, onion, garlic, and serrano peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over everything except the garlic cloves and run it in.

Roast the veggies in the oven for about 17 minutes. Then change the oven temperature to broil and make sure the baking sheet is about 8 inches from the heating element.

Broil for about 5 minutes keeping a close eye on the vegetables so they don’t burn. When they are nicely charred, take them out to cool.

In the meantime fry up the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the bacon is a golden brown and crispy, remove it to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Then cut it into bite size pieces.

Drain all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease out of the pan. Return the heat to medium high on the frying pan and once hot, add the beef.

Stir frequently and you will notice the beef releasing its juices. Once it appears cooked, add the bacon to the pan.

Pour all the vegetables (plus the juice) except the garlic cloves into a blender. Add 2 cups of the chicken broth and blend for a minute or until everything is liquified.
