Beef and sausage chili is hearty, filling and just the ticket for a slow-cooked meal on a blustery, cold night. This tasty version is made in a crockpot<\/a>, and after some light prep, you can toss everything in and leave it to cook all day. The result is a wholesome beef and sausage medley marinated in tomato, veggies and seasonings that will be ready and waiting for you come dinnertime. Serve it with warm, buttery rolls<\/a>, topped with your favorite chili garnishes, and you’ll feel cozy and nourished no matter what the weather’s doing outside.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, cook the beef and sausage over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid, then transfer the meat to a 5-quart slow cooker.<\/p>\n Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes and green chiles, onion, green pepper, taco seasoning, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on high for four to five hours, or until the vegetables are tender.<\/p>\n Serve the bowls of chili topped with shredded cheese, chopped onion and sour cream, as desired.<\/p>\n Any leftovers can be stored directly in the pot you cooked in\u2014just throw the cover on. If you’d prefer a smaller container option, place cooled beef and sausage chili into an airtight container. Either way, keep it in the fridge for three to four days.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze chili with sausage and beef. Once it’s cooled, spoon the chili into a freezer-safe, airtight container. Because it can be stored in the freezer this way for four to six months, we recommend labeling the container with the date you made the chili. And as an FYI: The quality of taste may start to decline after the six-month mark, but it will still be safe to consume.<\/p>\n This chili recipe with sausage and beef is hearty, thick and just right for a loaded nacho situation<\/a>. It’s also delightful warmed up, stuffed into a roll and loaded with shredded cheese. Or heat it up and pour it over the top of a hot dog or burger for a loaded grill night. Basically, this a versatile dish, not only because of how you can add or subtract ingredients to make it your own, but also because of how you can serve it. Simply put, it’s a winner!<\/p>\n If you’ve overcooked the meat<\/a> or stirred it around too much while it was cooking (this can drive out the moisture from the meat, creating a tougher texture), you may end up with meat that’s a bit more rubbery than you’d like. To remedy this, cook the meat in a small mixture of salt and baking soda, which work to help the meat hold on to its moisture as it cooks.<\/p>\n Chili with sausage and beef has plenty of flavor, but if you want to really wow your taste buds, try adding dark beer. You don’t have to add the whole bottle\u2014just enough to give it flavor, but not so much that it makes the chili soupy. You can also add more peppers, garlic and other veggies of your choice, as well as a few other types of beans. Again, this is a versatile recipe, so you can really make it your own without worrying about fudging with the flavors too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pork sausage, ground beef and plenty of beans make this chili a marvelous meal.
