6 servings
1 hour total (Active 15 minutes)

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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
