How about a slightly different take on chili today? The combination of hot breakfast sausage & salsa verde provides the perfect spicy tang, in this Beef & Sausage Salsa Verde Chili recipe.
Chop the onion and garlic (if not using pre-minced). Brown the ground beef, breakfast sausage, onion, and garlic in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat until cooked through & no longer pink, breaking up as you go.
While the meat is browning, open all of the cans and rinse and drain the beans.
Drain the beef & sausage mixture and return it to the pot. Stir in all other ingredients.
Bring chili to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors are nicely blended.
Serve with your favorite chili toppings.
Notes
If you use mild rather than spicy breakfast sausage, spice your chili up a bit more to taste with a little cayenne or crushed red pepper.
