Chef John's Italian Sausage Chili
66k
Chef John
"I've added pork to ground beef in chili before, but I've never tried it with all Italian sausage, and I loved the results. We Italian'd this up even more with cannellini beans and a touch of basil, but other than that, it's a fairly classic chili. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, red onion, and basil."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir hot Italian sausage, mild Italian sausage, onion, and a pinch of salt together in the pot, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon. Cook until sausage is browned and crumbly, and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- Stir ancho chile powder, paprika, cumin, ground black pepper, chipotle chile powder, and oregano into sausage mixture; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Pour water and tomato puree into sausage mixture, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook on a steady simmer until sausage is tender, about 45 minutes. Add water as necessary and skim any fat that floats to the top.
- Stir cannellini beans, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into sausage mixture. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt to taste.

I live in Texas and YES your chili should have tomatoes in it. Lots of them. This chili wasn't even red until I added more tomatoes (and lots of hot sauce). Be better with green chilies as well....

I love this recipe. It tastes great. It has a little burn, but not so much that a little sour cream or cheese can't handle. I would recommend this recipe. Chef John delivers again.

This is just what is says! A variation on chili and so worth the try. It is full flavored and a different change of pace from usual chili's. Adapt seasonings and liquids to your own tastes. I...

I made this for a party, and it was gone in half an hour! I made a few substitutions, but I think this recipe, with its high sausage/bean ratio, would be hard to ruin. It has a lot of "give." I ...

I am usually not a chili fan, but I like this chili. Way better than the usual ground beef ones.
