Assembly
Directions:
Brown ground beef. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine
the taco seasoning, tomatoes, salsa, corn, kidney
beans and black beans. Stir to mix. When the ground
beef is cooked, drain off any fat, then add it to the
bowl of other ingredients and stir to combine.
Freezing Directions:
Freeze in freezer bags or rigid containers based on
your family size. Seal, label and freeze.
Serving Directions:
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Heat mixture in a
saucepan on the stove until it’s hot and bubbly. Spoon
into bowls. Top each bowl with a spoon of sour cream
and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Serve with
tortilla chips on the side for scooping to eat it…
don’t use a spoon!
Tammy’s Comments:
This chili was an instant favorite with my family!
It’s quick and easy to put together too. You can
control the spicy-ness by choosing mild or hot salsa.
If you really like salsa, add a bigger jar. If you
really like hot and spicy, add a 4 ounce can of diced
green chilies, drained. You can add a can of sliced
black olives (drained) too, if your family likes them.
Feel free to use low fat or fat free sour cream or
cheese, if desired.
