Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground sausage
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 whole jalapenos, diced
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 0 to taste sour cream (optional, for serving)
  • 0 to taste shredded cheese (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Once the sausage is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Leave about 1 tablespoon of oil in the pot.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and diced jalapenos, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the pot.

Step 7

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Mix in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thicker consistency, let the chili simmer uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Step 11

Serve hot with optional toppings like fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheese if desired.
