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 microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work—, and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
