mandarin italian fusion sweet & spicy chili
Thanks to Dole Sunshine for partnering with me for this post! I am the creator of this recipe and for the description and information that follows. For a full disclosure, click here!
How about making a chili fusing the sweetness of mandarin oranges with Italian sausage and pepperoni! I mean once you taste this simple ridiculously easy recipe, I think you’ll be making it time and time again simple because it’s packed with flavor and layers of dimension!
Dole’s mandarin oranges are simply divine. They’re sweet and juicy, packed in their natural juices and perfect for adding just a tad of sweet to the savory and spicy of this chili. As all these flavors come together while cooking, you’ll simply go about your business while the slow cooker does its work and come home to insanely intoxicating aromas.
As you can see from my pictures, there’s a brothiness to this recipe plus a chunkiness to the meat. I like that textural variation. Then add to that the chunks of tomatoes and the toppings that you’re gonna, for sure, load on, like cheese, sour cream, green onions, crumbled crunchy Frito chips or whatever satisfies that crunchy desire, then you’ll probably be going back for seconds.
As Dole Packaged Foods’ Brand Ambassador, I really love showing you how their products are more than just sweet sunshine in a jar, can or freezer bag. They’re products that can add nutritional value and expanded flavors to not only sweet things in life, but the savory, too!
