Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Tortilla chips or crusty bread, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened (5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add bell peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, slightly charred.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), black beans, corn, oregano, basil, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Return cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add a squeeze of lime juice if desired. Garnish with cilantro (optional). Serve hot, with tortilla chips or crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier sausage, use spicy Italian sausage.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute with vegetarian sausage crumbles.
  • Chicken sausage can also be used.
  • Add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or carrots.
  • Dried cilantro can be used in place of fresh, but fresh is preferred.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They often taste better the next day!
