Venison Sausage Chilli #Recipe

10 oz. hot bulk venison sausage (or any ground meat)
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cooked kidney beans (or 1 can)
1 cup cooked chickpeas (or 1/2 can)
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 cup chicken or veggie stock
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Cook sausage, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until veggies are tender and sausage is browned. Drain off any fat, and pour this mixture into a medium-sized crock pot (I used a 3 1/2 quart one). Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Cook on low for 8-9 hours, stirring occasionally if possible. Serves 4-5.

This was tasty, but make sure to start this on a day when you don't plan on spending much time in the house. It smelled so good while it was cooking that I ended up snacking all afternoon. I wasn't even that hungry by the time the chili was ready, but I definitely ate a bowl of it. I don't know that I liked it as much as the black bean and sausage chili or quinoa and black bean chili that I've made in the last few months, but it was still quite good (hmmm... perhaps I prefer black beans in my chili!). It's perfect if you're looking for a very traditional chili, and the recipe couldn't get any easier.
