This Easy Sausage Chili has been a family favorite going on 25 years now!  Coming to an agreement on chili was one of our first major hurdles in the kitchen as a married couple, and as hog farmers sausage as the meat was an obvious choice.

There are so many ways to make chili, this recipe is the one we came to an agreement on when we first got married.  So many decisions……..thick, thin, pasta, no pasta, beans-hot or mild, the list goes on and on!  But being as we both are born and bred Hoosiers we knew ground meat, pasta and beans were given so from there we just jumped in and came up with this super simple recipe that is now a family favorite!

Nothing makes your house smell like a cool crisp fall day like a crock pot full of chili and this recipe is perfect for tailgating, make ahead of time and warm up in the crockpot while your setting up for your favorite game!  And that Colts crockpot…..super cool – who wouldn’t to rep their favorite team on their tailgating crock pot! I have been known to make a big double batch of it in the morning, keep it warm in the crockpot all day and just let people help themselves as they are in and out of the house working on barn chores!  Warms you from the inside out!

The great thing about this chili is that it’s very basic – good to eat on its own but just as yummy when you put out all the fixings:

  • diced onions
  • shredded cheese
  • sour cream
  • jalapeños
  • crackers

Serve it up with some cornbread or peanut butter sandwiches and everyone is happy and full!

And sausage make this chili just a touch different than everyone else’s but still keeps it simple enough for even the pickiest eaters!

    You are an amazing cook! You had the perfect basic recipe I had been thriving for me, what my family craved! I took the liberty to making a couple changes due to supply on hand, etc…

    First if all, I added a couple cloves of
    fresh garlic. And with no tomato juice on hand used the organic Roated Red Pepper and Tomato soup. I added a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis. and, with no fresh onion around, (20 miles to town) used my dried onions. Lastly, replaced the beans with Ranch Style Beans. The seasonings and everything you gave turned out so amazing that my hubby and I want chili a couple times a week. And planning on bringing to work!

    It was amazingly splendid and will be making again in near future! You are an awesome artist!!

    Thanks
