Santa Fe Chili


    Prepared chili mix helps speed up the prep time when making this dish. It's fast, easy and any variation of favorite ingredients can be added to make this chili your own.

1 pound ground round
1 tbsp butter
1 onion, diced
1 small can diced green chili's
1 16 oz can stewed tomatoes (tear tomatoes into small pieces as you drop into pan)
1 16 oz can tomato sauce
1 prepared chili mix or your choice
1 16 oz can white kidney beans
1 16 oz red kidney beans
2 cups water
(green onion for garnish)

In large stockpot saute diced onion in butter. When onions are almost translucent add ground round until browned,  (ground round puts off little fat, no need to drain). Add remaining ingredients and allow to simmer until the chili has thickened and you are ready to serve.

If you have the time and can make this a day ahead the flavors will come together nicely and will have a deeper flavor if allowed to do so, then just reheat and serve. Top with sour cream and green onions.

Enjoy,
Sheila
