Our highest temperature this week has been in the low 30’s, and for me that means fuzzy socks, my comfy couch..and chili!!
So, I played around with this recipe as I went along, and the final product was delicious.
Just perfect on a cold winter’s night! So of course, I’m sharing it! 🙂
The Polenta takes this white bean and sausage chili to a completely higher level of yummy!
It adds such a creamy, and hearty element and highlights all the other flavors incredibly.
So..if you’re looking to try a unique kind of chili, or if you love polenta..give this a try!
