Here is how you make My Chili Recipe:

This recipe is adapted from 'Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook' which isn't that new since it was published in...1989! 1) Finely chop your onion, garlic, and peppers. Separate them into three bowls (there is a reason for this).2) Finely slice or mince your sausage and set aside.3) In your Dutch oven/casserole/large soup pot, put your heat on medium high and coat the bottom with olive oil.4) After waiting a minute to heat, cook the onion for a 2-3 minutes until they start browning. Add garlic and cook for up to a minute until that browns too. Then add the peppers and sausage ,and cook for another two minutes until meat is browned and you get a nice spicy smell.5) Now add your puree and diced tomatoes, followed by spices and herbs. Make sure everything is blended well.6) After a couple minutes, add your beans. Bring to a boil and reduce to a 20-minute simmer.7) Remove from heat, garnish with some fresh parsley, cilantro, and scallion. Enjoy!
