Cincinnati-ish Sausage & Noodles

Cincinnati-ish Sausage & Noodles

1 1/2 lb Jimmy Dean sausage
2 tbsp minced dried onion
6-oz can tomato paste
15-oz can Fire-Roasted Diced Tomates
15-oz can dark red kidney beans
1 can Hormel Chili with Beans
1/3 cup Coca-Cola
2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp Hershey's dark chocolate syrup
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 pkg taco seasoning mix
16-oz pkg egg noodles, cooked as directed
Shredded colby cheese, if desired
Sour Cream to garnish, if desired

Brown and crumble the sausage in a large skillet. Add all the remaining ingredients except the egg noodles and simmer for about 45 minutes. Serve over the hot noodles with shredded cheese and sour cream.

John loved it....me, not so much. This, in my opinion, would have been excellent with Bowties or maybe Shells, but not egg noodles!
