After my adventure to the Oprah Show this past Friday, I was inspired to try some of the recipes for our Super Bowl Party. I decided to make the chili but incorporated ingredients from my own chili recipe that works well with my kids and husband. I have to say it turned out to be much better than what I normally make and took a lot less time. Wonder what my friends will think?

Game Day Chili:
Servings: Serves 8-10 (have more guests?, just double the recipe!!
Ingredients:
•1 pack Jenny-O Hot Turkey Italian Sausage
• 2 tablespoons EVOO
• 2 onions, chopped finely
•2 cloves garlic, grated with a zester
• 3-5 Tbsp. chili powder (depending on your preference)
• 2 tsp. ground coriander
• 2 Tbsp. ground cumin
• 2 cups beef stock (fresh or store-bought) – I use veggie stock (just how I roll!)
• 1 cup dark beer – (yes add the beer even if you don’t like or drink beer!)
• 1 can (28 ounces) chopped tomatoes
• 1 can (15 ounces) organic kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) organic white beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 Tbsp. masa (corn flour)
• 2 tsp. kosher salt
Garnish:
• Sour cream
• Chopped scallions
• Cilantro
• Cheddar cheese
• Hot red chili flakes
• Crushed tortilla chips
Directions:
Heat a large Dutch oven over med-high heat. Remove casings from turkey sausage. Add sausage, onion and grated garlic to pan, cook until sausage is brown, stirring to crumble. Add chili powder, coriander, cumin and mix well. Cook for 1 minute. Add stock, beer, tomatoes, beans and salt. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1 hour, checking and stirring every 15 minutes.
Add masa and simmer 10 minutes. Season with kosher salt and crushed pepper. This can be omitted all together or you can substitute with FINELY ground corn meal. If you have regular corn meal just pulse in the blender for a few seconds to create a finer version.
Serve in heated bowls and garnish with tortilla chips, sour cream, chopped scallions, cilantro, cheddar cheese and hot red chili flakes! Jalapeños optional.
