Spicy Crockpot Chili with Sausage

Change up the pace of beef chili and try this crockpot chili with sausage. A delicious crockpot chili that sure to please and makes enough extra to freeze!

This crockpot chili gets a nice boost of flavor by using a combination of spicy and sweet pork sausage, rather than just plain ground beef. To turn up the heat even more, use all spicy sausage instead.

Tip: Crumble the bulk sausage with your fingers prior to browning. This gives you better control over the size of each piece and is easier than breaking up the chunks of sausage with a wooden spoon while cooking. Another alternative is to use a potato masher, if you have one.
