Ingredients: 2 quarts prepared pinto beans, flavored the way you like them (bean “broth” included); 1 can tomato sauce, or 1/4 cup tomato powder; 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar – here’s a link to a tutorial I wrote for The Humbled Homemaker; 1 – 2 lbs cooked ground beef, seasoned to your tastes – we love grass-fed beef around here. The benefits are worth every extra penny you’ll spend!; 2 minced garlic cloves or equivalent in garlic powder; 1/2 onion, chopped – if you didn’t already add onion to your prepared beans; 5 “shakes” of Tabasco sauce, or you can add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper instead; 2 teaspoons salt; 2 teaspoons pepper

Description

Adapted from my mom’s original chili recipe. Enjoy with cornbread if you like.

Ingredients

Scale

2 quarts prepared pinto beans, flavored the way you like them (bean “broth” included)
1 can tomato sauce, or 1/4 cup tomato powder
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar – here’s a link to a tutorial I wrote for The Humbled Homemaker
1 – 2 lbs cooked ground beef, seasoned to your tastes – we love grass-fed beef around here. The benefits are worth every extra penny you’ll spend!
2 minced garlic cloves or equivalent in garlic powder
1/2 onion, chopped – if you didn’t already add onion to your prepared beans
5 “shakes” of Tabasco sauce, or you can add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper instead
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper

Instructions

Combine all ingredients into a stew pot, or just leave in the crock pot if that’s where you originally cooked your beans.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer for at least half an hour, stirring occasionally – the longer you simmer, the more flavorful it becomes.
Ladle and serve.

Notes

We like to eat it with this sweet cornbread. Hubby and I will add several more dashes of Tabasco sauce to our bowls, and the kiddos like it just as it is.
