Ingredients
  • 1lb hamburger, cooked and not drained
  • 1 package of cooked pinto beans/ or 2 cans pinto beans. You can also add kidney beans
  • 1 small can tomato sauce
  • 1 can stewed tomatoes- smashed
  • 5-6 roasted Anaheim peppers (I use the hot ones)
  • Red new Mexico chili powder (you can find it the “Hispanic” section with all the other Hispanic spices and bulk beans.
  • ½-1 full onion diced up
  • Onion powder to taste
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • Garlic salt to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Flour
  • Water
Instructions
  1. Cook the hamburger with the onion, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt, salt/pepper. While this is cooking, peel and clean the Anaheims and blend them up, or chop real fine.
  2. When the meat is done, pour enough flour in to make a “roux” and then add about ¼- ½ of the new Mexico chili powder in. “brown” the flour to get the flour taste out for about 30 sec- 1 minute. Then add your beans, chili peppers, tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, then add enough water to make it runny enough like gravy, but not soup.
  3. Turn temperature down to low/med and let simmer for about 20-30 minutes to let everything “merry” together. This is when you can taste it and add more seasonings if needed.
