White Bean and Mexican Sausage Chili

Chili is one of those foods that was around my whole life but I never really had an appreciation for it until I was an adult. Now I make my own and this last batch was so tasty it was worth sharing. The recent hurricane weather here in Acapulco has brought the type of weather that justifies a good chili, so I made it happen.

1 onion chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
500 oz white beans, soaked with a teaspoon of baking soda
1 500 ml jar plain tomato sauce
1 guajillo chile
2 fresh jalapeno, chopped with seeds removed
1 fresh poblano chopped with seeds removed
1 T ground cumin
1 T garlic powder
1 T oregano
3 Bay leaves
100 g double concentrated tomato paste
1/3 lb beef, ground
3 mexican sausages, sliced (we love the artesian style Mexican sausage from Johnsonville)
4 T butter
1 T worsteshire sauce
Salt to taste

It's a fairly simple recipe although evidently just a bit too lengthy for a cute little recipe card image.

1. Start by sauteing the onion, garlic, italian sausage, ground beef in a pan until golden.
2. Add the beans, with the soaking water.
3. Add tomato sauce
4. Add the chopped chiles, garlic powder, oregano and cumin and the dried chile.
5. Cover and simmer on low for 3-4 hours or until the beans are soft.
