2 huge cans of whole tomatoes
1 regular size can tomato paste
2 cans of beans your choice, try 1 pink kidney, 1 black
1 can green chilis-tiny or huge (these are really important,, if you have
Anaheim, poblano or ancho chilies you really rock)
2 or more onions-chopped garlic
meat-ground meat -1 to 4 lb. (can use darn near any ground meat you want for
this)
seasonings-any or all, at least a good shake
Worcestershire or soy
chili powder
cumin
paprika
onion powder
cayenne
Get a big fry pan hot, add ground beef, whole
cumin, onions, garlic, cook until done, drain. Put drained mixture into crock
pot. Open cans, put contents into crock pot. Add seasonings, stir to mix well.
Cook on high 4 hours or low 6-8. You're really cooking to meld the flavors,
the beef is already cooked. Freezes like a dream, is even better the third
or fourth day, week or month. Serve with green salad and cornbread.
mixed salad greens
a plum tomato for each serving
ripe avocado
cilantro or parsley (optional)
dressing - salsa , mayo , sour cream

Slice tomato and avocado and fan out on top of greens real pretty like. Mix

sprig of parsley or cilantro. Yum.
