a new nothing with a speckled handle

This is the yummiest chili that we first tasted at D'Ann and Ron's house in Provo. It's been a long time recipe of the Rogers family. Here's a link to the original recipe. I'll post my version- 2lbs Jimmy Dean Maple sausage (2 rolls) 2lbs hamburger (I don't usually add the hamburger, but spence likes it) 2 -15oz cans pinto beans (drained) 2 -15oz cans chili beans (only drain if you want to lessen the chili flavor) 2 cups V8 juice (plus more depending on the consistency you like your chili) 1/2 cup water 4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 cup brown sugar (can mix light and dark brown sugar for an extra sweetness) 2 - 3 Tbsp Worcesterchire sauce 1 Tbsp kosher salt 1-1 1/2 Tbsp dry mustard Brown sausage. Add all other ingredients and simmer for 30 - 45 minutes. Top with grated cheese, sour cream, avocado and any other toppings! I almost always cut this recipe in half just because it makes a ton. But, as Amanda found out, it's perfect to freeze! Amanda&#
