How to Make Crock Pot Chili With Sausage

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In your slow cooker, combine the browned sausage with 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cook on low for 6 1/2 to 7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chili has thickened and the flavors have melded.
  4. Ladle into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and a dollop of avocado crema are all delicious options!
