It's a family favorite. I make it up on Sunday, then cook it during the week. If you do that, bake longer (I baked it an hour last night). It is good. Even my dd's bf loved it.
LOL - not my kid! She wouldn't go near that. She's a simple food girl. She loves most kinds of meat - chicken, beef, pork chops, ribs, mostly prepared very simply. She likes pretty much all veggies, except tomatoes and mushrooms and peppers. She'll even eat Brussels Sprouts, for crying out loud! And nuts make her mouth hurt. Or so she tells me
Sabrina, you're describing what I mostly eat for breakfast. This morning it was toast with canned salmon (dressed with a bit of mayo -- FAT-FREE, of course;-) ). I put another slice of toast on it and turned it into a sandwich. So I had two slices of toast today.;-)
If y'all care, I ended up having mixed field greens, with a bit of Greek pasta salad, some chick peas, avocado and a few bits of cheese, and some pickled beets.
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.
