favorite beef chili


Favorite Beef Chili
(great freezer meal option!)

Our Rating: 

Ingredients:
1-1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 can (15 oz.) dark red kidney beans, drained, rinsed
1 can (15 oz.) light red kidney beans, drained, rinsed
1-1/2 cups mild salsa
1 can (16 oz.) tomato sauce
2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 onion, chopped
1 cup frozen corn, thawed, drained
1 cup mexican style finely shredded cheese

Directions:
Brown meat; drain. Add to slow cooker with remaining ingredients except cheese; stir. Cover with lid.

Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. Stir occasionally.

Serve topped with the cheese.

8 servings about 1 cup each

If you want to make this into a freezer meal put all ingredients into gallon sized freezer bag - hamburger should be cooked before adding to bag. Label the bag with cooking instructions. Once ready to use let thaw in fridge for 24 hours. I separate all my freezer meals into 2 quart sized bags since it's just Eddy and I to feed so far. That way we can save one of the meals to eat at a later date. :)
