Ingredients

We recommend using the following branded ingredients for this recipe:

Bush's Pinto Beans (15 oz.)

Chi-Chi's Fiesta Green Chiles (4.25 oz.)

Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (14.5 oz.)

Idahoan Mashed Potatoes (2 oz.)

Ranch Style Beans (15 oz.)

1 onion(s) jalapeno(s) 1-2 lbs. ground beef 2 cans Bush's Pinto Beans (15 oz.) 1 can Chi-Chi's Fiesta Green Chiles (4.25 oz.) 1 can Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes (14.5 oz.) up to 1 packet Idahoan Mashed Potatoes (2 oz.) McCormick Chili Powder McCormick Cumin 1 can Ranch Style Beans (15 oz.)

Preparation

1. Lightly brown meat, season to taste with salt and pepper, drain. Add to crock pot.


2. Add Ranch style beans, drained pinto beans, tomatoes, green chiles, and a small amount of water to the crock pot. Stir, then slowly add chili powder and cumin to taste, one at a time. Adjust salt content as necessary.


3. Cover and cook on high for about 6 hours, checking and stirring occasionally. Before finished, add a few spoonfuls of potato flakes to very slightly thicken (add slowly, stir, and wait to see how thick it gets before adding more ... it's more to add a starch componet to the mix for flavor enhancement rather than to thicken).


4. Serve with fresh chopped jalapenos and onions on the side.

Cook's Notes

Serve with cold Negro Modelo and lime!

From: Lindsay W Comment: I made this on the stove and it only took about a half hour to cook. I also used MorningStar's Meal Starter's Grillers Recipe Crumbles so it was even less cook time since I didn't have meat to cook. Throw the Crumbles into the pot like you would if you had already cooked the meat.
