How to Make New Orleans Chili Con Carne With Beans

  1. Chop 1 pound of andouille sausage into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped.
  3. Sauté the vegetables until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 (28 ounce) cans of crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 (15 ounce) cans of kidney beans, rinsed and drained. Heat for an additional 10 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
