Submitted By: Conie Cloud
Recipe Type: Main
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
