Mike’s Italian Sausage Chili:
Ingredients:
1 white onion
1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green bell pepper (3 total)
1 lb. ground beef (I use 90/10)
1 lb. Mild or Hot/Spicy Italian sausages
3 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
4 oz can of diced jalapenos (I use half of the can, but if you want less spice use less or none)
6 oz can of tomato paste
14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
8 oz of frozen corn
15.5 oz can chili beans in sauce
15.5 oz can of reduced sodium cannelloni beans (White kidney beans)
15.5 oz can of reduced sodium pinto beans
2 TBSP chili powder
1 TBSP onion powder
1 TBSP garlic salt
1 TBSP black pepper
1 TBSP paprika
3-4 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
1 TSP oregano
1 TSP salt
1 TSP garlic powder
Directions:
1. Dice white onion
2. Dice red, yellow and green bell peppers
3. Using a large pan, sauté onions and peppers with a little olive oil for about 5-8 minutes until they appear clear. Then remove from pan and set aside.
4. Add the 1 lb. of Italian sausage and 1 lb. of ground beef to pan breaking it up and cook meat until light brown. (Don’t worry about cooking too much because meat will cook later as well) *Lightly strain meat leaving some fat in pan then add onions and peppers back to pan.
5. Add 3 cups of chicken broth to pan on low heat.
6. Add half of a 4 oz. can of jalapeños.
7. Add all the rest of the ingredients above to pot.
8. Stir together and bring to a boil.
9. Once boiling, cover pot and reduce heat to simmer.
10. Simmer for 1.5 – 2 hours stirring every 15 min, then serve. (I like to put shredded cheddar and a dab of sour cream on mine)
