Chili with Sausage, Roasted Corn and Peppers, Dinners in a Flash

Another one of those recipes where if you keep a few staples on hand, it's easy to mix and match and pull something together for dinner.  Especially when you AND the rest of the fam are all enjoying the seasonal cold at the same time.  A little spice in this chili clears up a lot of things.  The guys really liked it so I decided to post it.

1 pkg Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage, cut into chunks and brown lightly in a fry pan. Turn off when done and put in the larger pot after the onions/garlic are done.

Saute in a large soup pot few tablespoons of olive oil for about 10-15 minutes over medium low heat.

3 medium red onions
5-7 garlic cloves

Add:

TJ frozen bag of bell peppers
1/2 bag frozen spinach
1/2 bag frozen roasted TJ corn

3-4 cups TJ organic chicken broth
1 jar of Bertoli organic olive oil, basil and garlic tomato sauce
2 cans cannelli beans
1 can red kidney beans
1 can Bush's original baked beans
....don't forget the sausage!

Add seasonings to taste, start small as it blooms the longer it cooks. What you think isn't enough after you put it in might be spicy after 15 minutes. I'll list the spices low and you can adjust. I've included photos of the spices and tomato sauce to make it easier.

1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Slap Ya Mama "hot"
1 tsp Slap Ya Mama "white pepper blend"
1 tsp chipotle chili pepper

Heat to let everything meld, at least 20 minutes after everything is in. Happy New Year!
