Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, diced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 14 ounces smoked hot Italian sausage
  • 29 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic, 2 - 14.5 ounce cans
  • 31 ounces Bush's Kidneys Beans in Mild Chili Sauce, 2 - 15.5 ounce cans
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large (4-quart) saucepan over medium high heat, add beef, jalapeno and salt. Cooked until lightly browned, break beef up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
  • Add sausage, tomatoes, beans, and crushed red pepper flakes (to taste - less for mild, more for hot). Stir. Simmer 5 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Donna's Notes

Use chicken or turkey in place of the beef and sausage for a lighter meal.
