Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season short ribs with salt and pepper; sear until browned on all sides.
Remove short ribs; sauté onion and jalapenos in the same pot until softened.
Stir in garlic and crumbled chicken sausage; cook until sausage is mostly done.
Add spices and stir for one minute to release flavors.
Deglaze with beef stock; return short ribs to the pot along with tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
Bring to boil; then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 2 hours until short ribs are tender.
If chili is too soupy, stir in cornmeal to thicken.
Serve hot with optional toppings.
