A delicious twist on traditional chili using Italian sausage. Simmering for a bit allows the flavors to develop, and making it a day ahead deepens the flavors even more.
Preparation
STEP 1
Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and brown, breaking into small pieces as it cooks. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
STEP 2
Add onion to pan and sauté until translucent. Add peppers and sauté for 1 minute. Add chili powder and cumin and stir for about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and beans and simmer 15 minutes.
STEP 3
Add sausage and simmer until cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Stir in vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
STEP 4
Serve in bowls garnished with sour cream and cilantro.
