Mexican Chili

This is actually a previous post... I just took a new picture.

This dish is SO easy to make and the clean-up is even easier! It is low-fat, high in fiber, and VERY flavorful. This is Jared's favorite chili, we make it all the time! I love adding sour cream, cheese, avacadoes, and tortilla chips... the nice thing about this chili is you can be as creative as you want! You can also add tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, salsa, guacamole, olives, or anything else you'd like!

1 can kidney beans (15 oz.)
1 can black beans (15 .)
1 can refried beans (15 oz)
1 can Mexican style chili beans (15 oz)
1 can corn (15 oz)
1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz)
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
1 can chilies, chopped (4 oz)
1 c. water
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix
1 lb. lean ground beef
½ c. onion (finely chopped)

Brown meat and onion. Put in large cooking pot and add all remaining ingredients (Do not drain) Simmer for 20-30 min. You can also brown the meat and onion, then combine with all remaining ingredients in a large crock pot on high for 2-3 hours.

I've made this 3 or 4 times since you've posted it. We absolutely love this recipe and it's so easy! We especially love adding chunks of fresh avocado as garnish. I'm so glad you re-posted this as I may not have seen it otherwise. Thanks!

Made this today and it was my first time making chili. Loved it! I let it simmer in a crock pot for 6 hours on low and it turned out fabulous.

I love that I can rely on your blog to help me when I need a recipe. I wanted to make chili tonight, but out of ground turkey for my usual recipe. Love it, Erica. Give that baby extra snuggles today, just because she has an awesome mom.

Hi! I commented up there ^ over a year ago and had a quick question. I was thinking of making this for a freezer meals group I'm a part of... do you think it would hold up to freezing and reheating (minus the garnishments of course)? Thanks!

Erica said...

@ Shelly-- That's a great question. I haven't frozen this before but I am sure it would be ok. I have frozen and re-heated other chilis before and they have turned out fine!
