Black Bean Sausage Chili Recipe


Meet the Cook: My entire family urged me to send in this recipe! I came up with it one day when I wasn't sure what to do with a can of black beans I had. I just threw a bunch of stuff together, and out came a new chili that's become our favorite. My husband always tells me that I'm the world's best cook. That's nice, since he's the best husband in the world! Our four children are ages 6, 4, 2 and 1. -Nanci Keatley, Salem, Oregon

Tip

Tomato Paste Cubes

I save leftover tomato paste by freezing 3-tablespoon-size portions in ice cube trays. Then I transfer them to a heavy-duty resealable freezer bag. It's easy to remove a frozen cube whenever I need a small amount of tomato paste. —Carre Gardner, Gray, Maine
