Three Bean Chili with Sausage

1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 lb. lean ground pork sausage
1 onion, diced
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1 (46 oz.) can tomato juice
1 can black beans, drained
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
3 T. chili powder
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
2 t. salt
1 t. paprika
Shredded cheese & sour cream for garnish

Brown the beef, sausage, and onion in a large pot over medium-high heat. Drain the fat. Add the vinegar and cook for 1 minute to reduce the liquid. Add the tomatoes, tomato juice, beans, chili powder, brown sugar, cayenne, salt, and paprika. Decrease the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Serve in bowls and top with cheese and sour cream.

*VEGETARIAN OPTION: Omit the sausage and beef and double the beans.
