chili

1 pound hot Italian sausage
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon fennel seeds; crushed
2 bay leaves
2 onions; chopped
4 cloves garlic; minced
2 sweet red peppers; diced

Remove sausage from casings. In Dutch oven or large heavy saucepan, brown sausage over medium-high heat, mashing to separate meat. Drain off all but 2 teaspoons fat. Reduce heat to medium. Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, fennel seeds and bay leaves; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add onions, garlic, red peppers, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce; cook, stirring, for 8 minutes or until vegetables are softened. Stir in diced tomatoes and 3 cups water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Stir in beans; simmer, uncovered and stirring often, for about 30 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Discard bay leaves.
