Five Classic Breakfasts Reimagined: From Mexican Beer Waffles to Chorizo Chili

Eggs. Bacon. Toast. Repeat.

We’re all very much familiar with the same ol’, same ol’ breakfast routine, yet the cycle seems to continue without much question. Nowadays, the most we’ll change up about our first meal is treating ourselves with a bowl of fruit loops rather than the usual bran flakes. What’s happened to us? When are we going to start living our lives and actually enjoy the things we put into our bodies? Humans may be creatures of habit, but that doesn’t mean those habits have to be so…boring! We crave and need variety! Dammit, we need beef!

That’s right, beef—supreme source of protein, vitamins, and sheer pleasure. We are going to take back breakfast by using this widely-celebrated meat as our inspiration. In fact, we’ve already rounded up five of the brightest, beefiest recipes around to help kickstart you back into reality and inspire you to live your breakfast to the fullest (literally). There’s a little something for everyone, don’t be afraid to be adventurous! What’s your beef?
