Directions

  • Step one

    Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and onion to pan and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring to break up the pieces. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  • Step two

    Pour in undrained tomatoes, beef broth, beans, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.

  • Step three

    Serve your firehouse sausage chili with optional toppings and enjoy!
