4 Bean Taco Chil

[honeybunch1]

1 can each (15.5 0z.) butter beans, kidney beans, black beans & great northern beans

1 envelope taco seasoning
1 - 16 oz jar salsa
1-4 oz jar chopped green chiles
3 c. tomato juice
1-6 oz can tomato paste
8 oz tomato sauce
2 lbs ground round

Brown ground round, drain, and add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook just a few minutes, or put the whole mess in a crock pot and let it simmer for a couple of hours.

This tastes just as good as chili you spent hours preparing. We are now switching to this recipe after years of making it the old way, which was a two day ordeal with chopping and cooking.

I have a 6-quart cooker, and this recipe filled it.

This was in Quick Cooking magazine.

Hi HB,

Now, for those of us without a crock pot (I keep telling myself I'm going to get one!), how long would you suggest simmering this recipe in just a dutch oven on top the stove?
I actually have all those items in my pantry right now~go figure!? And I'd like to try this out today, sounds yummy and like a cold weather keeper!

Thanks, HB!

That sounds sooo good and LOTS of protein! Thanks for sharing. Donna, you NEED a crockpot, especially for those cold Pa. nights!!! Sam's & BJ's have nice ones for good prices!

RE: Thanks, HB!

Donna, of course I will defer to honeybunch if she sees this, but if she doesn't and you really want to try it, I think simmering for 30 minutes would be more than enough since all the ingredients are already cooked. It will probably be better the next day too as the flavors blend.

I would go along with this - you don't have to simmer it long, but DO simmer it before you serve it. I simmered mine about 1-1/2 hours yesterday.
