Comments: Like most chilis, this version tastes even better the next day.
Amy's Comments: I used 2 jalapenos (with seeds) and added approx 1/2 tsp. tabasco sauce. This gave it just the kick I was looking for! Delicious hearty chili!!
INGREDIENTS:
6 ounces hot turkey Italian sausage
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground sirloin
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder

1 1/4 cups Merlot or other fruity red wine
2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes, undrained and coarsely chopped
2 (15-ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
