Best White Bean Italian Sausage Chili Recipes
CHEF JOHN'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE CHILI
I've added pork to ground beef in chili before, but I've never tried it with all Italian sausage, and I loved the results. We Italian'd this up even more with cannellini beans and a touch of basil, but other than that, it's a fairly classic chili. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, red onion, and basil.
