Four Bean and Beef Chili

Oh my goodness. This chili you guys. It’s pretty much my favorite way to make chili.

I really like the concept of chili better than the actual chili. You know, the whole “It’s so cold out side! It’s the perfect day for a big bowl of hot chili!” concept.

Don’t be discouraged by the list of ingredients…it comes together really fast!

1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
2 1/2 cups beef stock

1. Brown the ground beef with seasonings.

2. Drain the northern, black, kidney beans and diced tomatoes. Add to a slow cooker or large pot. Add the chili beans in mild sauce.
3. Add tomato sauce, onion, beef stock and ground beef. Stir to mix.
