Chili With Sausage And Jalapeno

Description

This is a real tasty sweet and spicy beanless chili that i tried from bon appetit magazine. The recipe was found in the rsvp section as a request from a restaurant in rochester new york called dinosaur bar-b-que. We loved it and beans could be added easily if you are a bean fan.
