Spicy Sausage & Black Bean Chili image

Unusual flavor and easy to make...you can also decrease the heat to actually make it edible! Tastes great on a cold winter day with a fresh loaf of crusty bread and a crisp green salad.

This chili is not my favorite. I found it to be a bit bland.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I was pleasantly surprised! The chili had just the right amount of heat.

This chili is a flavor explosion! The combination of spicy sausage, black beans, and chili spices is perfect. I especially love the addition of poblano peppers, which give the chili a slightly smoky flavor.
