Recipe Introduction
recipe by KITTENCAL
I have made this recipe lots of times in the past, it is one of the best recipes for chili! If you can, find chicken sausage, remove from the casings, and brown it along with the ground sirloin, it makes a fantastic chili, purchase about 5-6 large chicken sausages. Only use jalapeno peppers for this, they really make a difference in the taste. I always grind my own sirloin meat in my Kitchen Aid grinder attachment, you can ask your butcher for ground sirloin, it makes the best chili. When serving the chili dollup with sour cream then grated cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. This chili is best if made a day ahead, just prepare, cool and leave in the fridge overnight... You will love this!
