Place the hot links in a large stockpot.

Add the celery, onion, bell peppers and garlic, cook for 3-4 minutes.
Put the meat and veggies in the stockpot with the sausage.
To the stockpot, add the hot sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, Creole seasoning, stock, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, V8 and both beans. Stir until combined and bring to a bubble.
Turn heat down to a simmer and cook for at least 1 hour.
Season the chili with salt and pepper. Serve with some crushed Fritos and chopped scallions on top.
