2. In the same pan, cook onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender. Add the squash; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, salt, and cayenne; cook for 1 minute. Return the sausage to pan. Add broth; bring to boiling, then reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 8 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Cook apple slices in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Transfer apples along with beans to chili. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until apples are tender. Top servings of chili with sage and apple rings.

This was Awesome! I use Chili 9000 seasoning from Penzy's Spices (it has cinnamon, cardamon, nutmeg, and other warm winter flavors, yet it still tastes like chili. You MUST try it. You can order online.) Also I used 12 oz sausage (one pack) instead of 1 1/2 lb , added an extra can of beans, used 3 cans broth insread of 3 cups. Then added 2tsp apple cider vinegar at the end to blend the flavors, then 1/4 tsp baking soda to balance acidity.. Yum Yum!

11/11/2011 07:30:24 AM Report AbuseI added a sprinkle of cinnamon along with the spices-YUM!
11/11/2011 04:49:46 AM Report AbuseVery tasty, and full of healthy ingredients! The apple made it a little sweet, so I will amp up the heat with more hot pepper next time, but I will definitely make it again!
