Ingredients
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ lb bulk mild Italian sausage
- ¾ cup diced fresh yellow onions
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 (15.5 oz) cans cannellini beans
- 2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
- 1 cup pasta sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded Italian-style cheese blend (optional)
Steps
- Chop green pepper (½ cup). Preheat large stockpot on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place oil in pot, then add sausage; brown 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, until no pink remains and sausage is 160°F. Stir in peppers, onions, and garlic; cook 3–4 minutes until tender.
- Drain and rinse beans. Stir remaining ingredients into pot (except cheese; do not drain tomatoes) and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 40–45 minutes until flavors have blended. Serve chili topped with cheese, if using.
