Mex-Italian Chili
Prep: 10 min Cook: 30 min Servings: 6by Chef Wannabee1 recipe>One day I threw this together and everyone loved it sooooo much that now I have to make it all the time! It’s a little spicy, a little Tex-Mex, and a little Italian too! After I started calling it Mex-Italian Chili, the name stuck. Now I crave it all the time - whatever the season, it’s Mex-Italian Chili time! I like chicken sausage the best, but pork sausage is good too. Ingredients

- 2 cups water
- 1 15-ounce can black beans or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro or basil (plus additional for garnish)
- Feta cheese to garnish (or fresh grated Parmesan)
Directions
