Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Take the sausage out of its casings and put it in the pot with the onion, peppers, garlic and beef. Cook until the meat is browned, stirring to break it up.
  2. Add the chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, tomato paste, oregano, pepper and salt and cook for 1 minute, stirring all the time.
  3. Stir in the wine, tomatoes and beans and bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat down and simmer for an hour, stirring now and then.
  4. Uncover and cook for 30 minutes more, stirring now and then. Sprinkle each bowl with cheddar.

Pair with

The name points to Zinfandel, but the winery didn't name the wine.

Notes

  • The original stirs in "wine" without saying which or how much, and leaves it and the cheddar out of the ingredient list. It also doesn't say how to cut the onion.
