Ingredients

• 4 links Spicy Italian sausages
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1.5 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 2

Place the sausages in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove them from the skillet and set aside. (They do not need to be fully cooked at this point as they will finish cooking later.)

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, mixing well with the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Return the sausages to the skillet, submerging them partially in the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 8

After 15 minutes, remove the lid and continue simmering uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to your liking.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed (add more salt, pepper, or chili powder if desired).

Step 10

Serve the Chili Sausage Supper hot, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro if desired. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
