  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Remove Italian sausage from casing, if necessary.

  2. 2

    Start the Sausage

    Place a medium pot over medium heat.

    Add 1 tsp. olive oil and Italian sausage to hot pot. Break up sausage into smaller pieces until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Vegetables

    Add diced peppers and white portions of green onions to hot pot.

    Stir occasionally until peppers begin to soften and Italian sausage reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Chili

    Drain and rinse black beans in a colander.

    Add flour to hot pot and stir until no dry flour remains.

    Stir in 1 cup water, half the red pepper flakes (to taste; remaining half are yours to use as you please!), chicken base, tomatoes, black beans, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes.

    Remove from burner.
