Chef John's talian Sausage Chili

Chef John's talian Sausage Chili
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/4 pounds hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 1/4 pounds mild Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 1/2 cups water, or as needed
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced


  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir hot Italian sausage, mild Italian sausage, onion, and a pinch of salt together in the pot, breaking up sausage with a wooden spoon. Cook until sausage is browned and crumbly, and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir ancho chile powder, paprika, cumin, ground black pepper, chipotle chile powder, and oregano into sausage mixture; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour water and tomato puree into sausage mixture, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook on a steady simmer until sausage is tender, about 45 minutes. Add water as necessary and skim any fat that floats to the top.
  4. Stir cannellini beans, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper into sausage mixture. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
