Chili Con Carne

Follow directions for Chico’s Chili Beans. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy saucepan (dutch oven is perfect). Brown ground sirloin well, or if using chunks, trim fat from 1-1/2 lbs. sirloin. Cut into 1-inch cubes and brown well on all sides. Add 1 cup water and 1-8 oz. can tomato sauce to browned beef. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover saucepan and simmer approximately 2 hours or until meat is tender. Add prepared Chico’s Chili Beans. Again bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Serves 4-6.
