We started the first day of autumn with this easy and delicious chili. I used a mix of breakfast and redwine sausages.The recipe didn't mention this, but some additional seasoning is necessarily. My mother couldn't believe it toke me less than an hour to cook up the dish! This is a good recipe to keep close at hand.
