In the Sept/Oct Taste of Home Magazine this recipe was posted as part of a Johnsonville ad. I am fixing it tonight for my in-home tailgate party for football. Took a taste test and I like it.. letting it simmer now! I did not have the celery and used a little less of the chili powder. It makes a lot.

Johnsonville Chiliville Chili

1 pkg. (16 oz.) Johnsonville Ground Mild, Sweet or Hot Italian Sausage

1 lb. lean ground beef

3 cans (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green peppers and onions

2 can (16 oz) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 medium onion, chopped

3 celery stalks, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 can (14.5 oz) beef broth

1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

2 Tablespoons chili powder

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

shredded cheddar cheese

In a Dutch oven, cook sausage and ground beef over medium heat until meat is cooked and browned; drain. Stir in onion, celery and garlic. Cook and stir until tender. Add tomatoes, beans, broth, tomato paste, brown sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, cumin and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese on top, if desired.

I'm always anxious to try a new chili recipe so I'll definitely try this. The only thing I will possibly change is the kidney beans - not a big fan. Would substitute beans with a softer skin.

Hi! We love chili. Are you going to freeze the leftovers? I am on my way. (grin) Kathy

DH just made a big pot of Chili today. It's on the stove right now. He calls it Da~mn Good Chili. That recipe sounds good also. Thanks for posting.

1-2 T olive oil

1 lb sirloin, cubed

1 lb ground beef

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 bottle of beer (DH uses a bottle of his homebrew)

1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

1 c strong coffee

1 T tomato paste

1 T chili sauce

1 T cocoa powder

1/2 c finely chopped jalapeno pepper

1/4 c brown sugar

1 T heaping of cumin

1 t heaping of coriander

1 t cayenne pepper

1 t sea salt

2 15 oz cans kidney beans

1 15 oz can white beans

2-3 large carrots, sliced discs

In large stock pot, heat oil over med heat to brown sirloin first then the beef.

When meat is lightly browned add onions.

Add the beer, tomatoes, coffee & tomato paste.

Add sugar, spices & kidney beans.

Reduce stove to low & let simmer for an hour.

Add white beans & carrots, simmer for another hour or two; longer is better.

Season as needed.

Will report back after we eat. I love the different variations doing chili...think this is my first time using Italian sausage. Kathy...I think I will freeze the leftovers....we'll see what is left. Mysterylady.....let us know your variation. Nightowlz....good recipe too...another to try.

Very Good Chili! I did freeze leftovers. I will keep this recipe and make again. I also think I will keep trying other chili recipes this Fall like one above. Cool weather and Chili go together....along with football!

I gave DH your recipe to try. He said it sounds like it would be good. He also likes to freeze it so he can take it to work to eat at lunch. I had to edit the recipe above to 2-3 carrots since he does not use 5 & it should also be 1/2 c finely chopped jalapeno peppers instead of 1/2 pepper. Hope you like it if you try it.

Hi walker..... this recipe sounds delicious. I especially like that it has sausage in it. We love Johnsonville's Sweet Italian sausage. Thanks for posting. I will be making it as soon as the weather cools down here.

Nightowlz...thanks for follow up on your/DH recipe. I will copy this and try it. I am thinking I need to have a Chili Party.....different crock pots with different types....would be fun....especially on cold winter day. Luvsbulldogs.......I really liked having the sausage in this chili....think I used the mild sausage but maybe next time I will try the sweet.
