Serves 6-8
Instructions
Brown: Cook beef + onion in a skillet until browned. Drain fat.
Combine: Add beef, onion, tomatoes, all beans, and spices to pot.
Cook:
Crockpot: Low 4-6 hours.
Stovetop: Simmer on low, uncovered, 30-40 min, stirring occasionally.
Finish: Taste and adjust salt/spices before serving.
Notes: Don’t drain the “beans in chili sauce” — that’s your flavor base. Add water/broth if stovetop gets too thick.
Top with cheese, sour cream, or Fritos. Freezes well.
