This Three Bean Chili recipe with beef and sausage has an amazing assembly of flavors that will keep you coming back for more!
If you want to make dinner, but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this delicious three bean chili recipe might just be the perfect solution.
It took me a while to come up with this recipe, but it was well worth the time it took to do so.
This chili is packed full of peppers (which makes it a little spicy), tender meat and lots of beans. You can always add the peppers a little at a time to lower the heat level for your palate.
Combine this with my cornbread muffins. Those muffins are a combination of several recipes I’ve used in the past. They are sweet but not to the point that it tastes like cake. You can definitely taste the cornmeal- which is the best part, right? One of my favorite things to eat cornbread with is honey butter. If you’re looking for a good recipe you can find one here. Enjoy!
