This is really a quick to make rich flavored Chili and one of my favorites  And who doesn’t need a quick meal? The beef broth and Italian Sausage makes it different from your everyday chili.  Serve it with toppings such as shredded cheese and sour cream.  To complete the meal add some hot out of the oven cornbread.  I like to mill corn and kamut grains to make whole grain cornbread. But, that is another Tidbit to Share with you for another day. Your family will ask for this yummy chili time and time again guaranteed.  Enjoy!!!

 

Tidbit Tip: Be sure to remove the casing from the sausage so you can crumble it.  If the recipe calls for pieces of sausage you would leave the casing on and slice the sausage.
