Preparation

Step 1

1) Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, stirring to crumble into pieces, for 6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove sausage and set aside. Drain off any fat.

2) Add onions, garlic, shallots and celery to the pan. Saute until onions and celery are soft. You can add a little water to prevent sticking.

3) Transfer the mixture to a large pot and add beans, tomatoes and sausage.

4) Add the chili seasoning according to package directions and mix well.

5) Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then lower heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Small amounts of the reserved canned bean liquid can be added at any point to thin the chili.
