Notes

Not a fan of sausage? Skip it and use ground beef or ground chicken instead.
This isn't overly spicy but it does have a little kick. If you are sensitive to spice, either cut down the amount of jalapeno you use or skip it all together.
You can use the kind of chili with beans if you want but we prefer the heartier, meatier chili.
If you have leftover homemade chili, you could absolutely use that instead of canned chili.
