Italian-Style Chili Pot

SERVES: 8

COOK TIME: 50 Min

Our Italian-Style Chili Pot is always a welcome recipe, especially during the colder months. It's so versatile you can serve it over pasta, or if you're on-the-go try putting some into an over-sized mug! Made with lean ground beef, and, of course, the oh-so-yum Italian sausage, this recipe is bursting with flavor and will warm ya up from the inside out.

What You'll Need

2 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 pound Italian sausage, casing removed
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15-1/2-ounce) cans dark red kidney beans, undrained
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

In a soup pot over high heat, cook ground beef and sausage 5 minutes; add onions and garlic and cook 10 minutes more or until beef is browned, stirring occasionally.
Add remaining ingredients; mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Test Kitchen Tip

Top with all your favorite chili toppings from shredded cheese to chopped onions and sliced jalapeno peppers. Oh, and when it comes to the sausage, you can make that as mild or spicy as you’d like. After all, it’s your chili.

Yuuuuuuuuuuummy! When I added the tomatoes I was a little concerned about the meat/sauce ratio, so I added some tomato paste w/some beef broth.... the tomatoes cook down but I did like it a little juicier to have something for the cornbread to sop up :) I added sliced jalapenos to the pot.... and let me tell you, YUUUUUUUUUMMY! Will never make another type of chilli again.

it's not a slow cooker recipe

I can't believe that someone hasn't already complained that "there are no slow cooker directions included" -- since this is included in a list of Slow Cooker recipes. So...if someone is thinking of complaining, don't! Use your common sense and experience with slow cookers to figure it out!

Does this recipe call for the Ground beef and Sausage not to be drained after it is cooked?

Cut in half for two. Added some chopped red pepper and half cup chunky salsa. Quick and easy. Sausage adds a little zing. Served with cornbread. Great dinner on fall night.
