Touchdown Italian Sausage Chili -- Sizzling Sausage Grill Recipe
Latest Review
POTLUCK SAUSAGE CHILI. So I only had half the ingredients this recipe called for so I made some substitutions!! Added chickpeas, orange peppers, and fresh tomatoes (sub for one can of diced tomatoes). I added an extra can of red kidney beans. MOST IMPORTANT - I removed the castings from the sausage and cut/crumbled it to make it stretch! Sooooo tasty!! A little hot sauce and pepper jack cheese didn't hurt either!! — Dan W.
