Equipment

Ingredients 

  • ½ pound (227 g) fresh chorizo sausage casings removed
  • 3 cups (630 g) diced potatoes
  • 15.5 ounce (439 g) can of black beans drained and rinsed
  • 15.5 ounce (439 g) can of pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 19 ounces (539 g) canned fire roasted tomatoes undrained
  • 4 ounce (113 g) can sliced jalapeños
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt more to taste
  • 2 ¾ cups (651 ml) chicken stock

Instructions

  • In a small skillet, brown and break up the chorizo sausage with a spatula or wooden spoon then add it into the slow cooker.
    1/2 pound fresh chorizo sausage
  • Add the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker.
    3 cups diced potatoes, 15.5 ounce can of black beans, 15.5 ounce can of pinto beans, 19 ounces canned fire roasted tomatoes, 4 ounce can sliced jalapeños, 1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon tomato paste, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 2 3/4 cups chicken stock
  • Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
  • Add more chicken stock if chili is too thick. The chili is supposed to be more of a liquidy chili as opposed to a thick chili but either way you like it is fine!
  • Serve warm and top with freshly grated cheddar cheese, if desired.

Notes

As mentioned in the blog post, this chili is fairly spicy. Here are ways to reduce the spiciness:
-Instead of using chorizo sausage, use regular pork sausage
-Instead of fire roasted tomatoes, use regular diced tomatoes
-Omit the jalapeño slices
