Ingredients

6 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.25 pounds hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1.25 pounds mild Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2.5 cups water, or as needed
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir hot and mild Italian sausage, onion, and a pinch of salt in hot oil until sausage is browned and crumbly, and most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in ancho chile powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, chipotle chile powder, and oregano; sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in water and tomato purée; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook at a steady simmer until sausage is tender, about 45 minutes. Add more water as needed and skim any fat that floats to the top.
  • Stir in beans and bell peppers. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt.
