2 cans Bush’s Chili Beans (drained)

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a 3 or 4 quart pot, lightly brown 2 lbs 80/20 Ground Chuck in 2 TBS Canola Oil.  As you are browning, leave meat in big chunks in your pot.  Drain off the grease and set meat aside.  Clean out your pot and add meat chunks back to pot and add 1 can each Swanson’s Beef and Chicken Broth.  Cook on low boil for 45 minutes. Remove meat and strain off grease from broth.  Add strained broth and meat chunks back to pot and add Tomato Sauce and 1st Spice Mixture.

Cook on low medium heat being careful not to mash the meat. After about 30 minutes, turn off heat.  Cut meat chunks down or use a potato masher to break up meat to about fingertip size. 

Turn on heat to low and add 2nd spice mixture.  Add Bush’s Chili Beans. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.

Before serving, add 3 dashes of Cholula Hot Sauce, salt to taste and if needed, cayenne pepper for heat.
