Flavorful Southwestern Chili

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
“This filling, hearty recipe comes from my grandmother,” writes Jenny Greear from Huntington, West Virginia. “It’s full of flavor, freezes beautifully and makes a complete, last-minute meal. I top it grated cheddar cheese and chopped black olives and serve tortilla chips on the side.” JENNY’S TIP: “If I’m feeding a crowd, I increase the pinto beans to four cans to make the meat go farther.”

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 cup salsa

  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

  • 1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef and onions over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
