Instructions

  3. Stir in garlic and chicken sausage; cook until the sausage is mostly cooked through.
  4. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook for another minute to bloom the spices.
  5. Pour in beef stock while scraping any browned bits from the pot.
  6. Return short ribs to the pot along with tomatoes, beans, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce; stir well.
  7. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer for about two hours until flavors meld and meat is tender.
  8. If desired, stir in cornmeal to thicken before serving.
