1 - 2 lbs lean ground bambi. I grind my own & when it's for use in chili, tacos or spaghetti I don't add any fat.
4 cans assorted beans. What ever kinds you like, red kidney, pinto, white navy, chili, etc.
1 can diced tomatoes with chilis
2 packs chili seasoning mix
1 can tomato paste. Optionally 1 can tomato sauce in its place.
1/2 a large onion
sliced jalapenos or fresh chilis (optional)
Optional ingredient for variety:
Fresh ground ginger root. If used, add to the meat in the skillet.
Set a crock pot on high. Add in 4 cans of beans, diced tomatoes & chilis.
Peel & chop the onion. I prefer larger chunks, but chop as suits you.
Brown the meat in a large skillet, drain off any grease. Add both packs seasoning mix with 1 cup water, mix well & simmer, adding the tomato paste or sauce and onion. Let simmer for a bit, say 10 to 20 minutes, stirring regularly.
Put the skillet contents into the crock pot. If you like it hotter, add some sliced jalapenos, or if can get them, fresh sliced chilis. Be advised that the flavor will get hotter over time, so depending on how hot you want it approach with caution. What it tastes like this evening is not how hot it will be tomorrow
Add water to the pot, depending on how full it is & what the desired consistency is.
Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, saltines & ice cold beer.
