    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 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.

    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.
