Recipe
Heat oil in large pot and cook sausage (casings removed), onion, green pepper, garlic, ground sirloin, and jalapeno until meat is browned (about 8 minutes).
Add chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, tomato paste, oregano, pepper, salt, and bay leaves, and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in wine, tomatoes, and beans; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Uncover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Discard bay leaves.
Sprinkle servings with cheese, if desired.
