Jamie deen chili beans recipe

This is my all-time favorite chili recipe. The Italian sausage really gives it great flavor, the beans provide a hearty texture, and the celery is an unexpected inclusion.

It’s wonderful for any night of the week since it only gets better as it sits in the slow cooker. I’ve also made it for several parties and it is always well received.
