Hot Link Chili
This chili recipe packs a lot of heat and flavor into one dish. We use all the classic ingredients — pinto beans, jalapeños, chili powder, tomatoes — plus diced pre-cooked hot links for ease. If you want your chili a little milder, any simple precooked sausage would work.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
