The taste of this mild chili dish comes from kidney beans, chunky tomatoes, and ground sausage. Replace the mild salsa with a medium- to high-heat salsa for a hotter chili.

I doubled the recipe for a football party came home with just one ladle scoop leftover…everyone loved it!
Made this twice: first one according to the recipe and the second with substituting diced tomatoes. Both were outstanding. Will do with diced from now on.
I’m re-learning how to cook. This was very easy and tasty. I’ve made it twice and will keep making it.
Made a meatless, veggie chili by adapting this recipe by substituting protein crumbles instead of beef and sausage. Turned out very nice tasty. Kept all the other ingredients the same.
I just love chili and I’m always trying new chili recipes. I was skeptical because this one doesn’t have cumin. I mean what good chili recipe doesn’t call for cumin? But this one is really good! I’ll probably make this one again. Its simple and delicious.
