- Taste the chilli and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Serve the chilli in individual bowls, topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro (if desired).
Notes
• If you like your chilli extra spicy, add extra chilli powder or red pepper flakes.
• For a thicker chilli, simmer the mixture uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes.
• To add some sweetness to the chilli, add a tablespoon of brown sugar.
• For a smokier flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
• To make this recipe vegetarian, simply omit the sausage and use vegetable broth or water in place of the sausage.
