Easy Gluten Free Sausage Chili
Easy Gluten Free Sausage Chili
Ingredients
- 1 lb bag dried red beans or 3 cans cooked red beans
- 2 rolls Gwaltney or other gluten free mild sausage
- 2 large can diced tomatoes
- 1 can rotel tomatoes with green chilis
- 1 large sweet onion
- 3 green peppers
- 2 jalapenos or chiles deseeded and diced (optional)
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
- Rinse red beans and cover with 2 inches hot water in the bottom of your stock pot. Bring them to a low boil uncovered for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cover pot. Leave covered for around an hour. This will quick soak your beans for cooking in the chili.
- Fry up the two rolls of sausage.
- Open the cans of tomatoes and Rotel.
- Roughly chop the onion and green peppers.
- Deseed and finely dice the chilis or jalapenos.
- Throw everything except the spices in a large stock pot on the stove. (I like to save the spices for the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking so the flavors don't get lost.)
- Bring pot to a boil and then turn down to a simmer. Simmer covered for around 2 hours stirring occasionally.
- Around the 2 hour mark test the beans for doneness. If they are to your liking go ahead and add the spices. Simmer for an additional 15 to 30 minutes.
