  • 2 cans pinto beans
  • 2 cans black beans
  • 1 pound lean ground beef (optional)
  • 3 or 4 potatoes cubed
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 or 2 jalapeno peppers minced (how much heat can you take?)
  • Chili powder (more than you think)
  • Paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
  • Brown beef in a large stock pot with chopped onion and jalapeno
  • Add all canned goods with their juices
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer and add 2 tablespoons of chili powder and 1 tablespoon of paprika
  • Add the potatoes and let it simmer until much of the liquid has evaporated and the chili becomes thick, about 40 minutes or more

Try this meal with corn muffins. The sweetness of the muffin compliments the chili and cools your burning mouth.
