Sooo, I was experimenting today and I totally failed at what I planned to make, but I ended up with a REALLY good chili recipe! :001_smile:

Recipe:

Aimee's Suprise Chili :w00t:

Servings: 1/2 cup

Servings per recipe: 20

1 Canned Roast Beef (12 oz) w/Gravy

2 16 oz cans of Refried Beans

5 Sazon Goya Seasoning Packets (sold in the hispanic aisle)

1 28oz can of Contanida Roasted Garlic Crushed Tomatoes

1 onion, diced

1/4 - 1/2 cup of cheese

Use a deep pan! And remember that part of your goal here is to retain as much of the sauce as possible before step 5.

1. Sautee onions in medium high heat in Pam

2. Add 2 of the Sazon Goya packets

3. Add Roast Beef, and break up the beef into small strands with spatula

4. If in mushies state, like I am, place in blender and puree...

5. Return to pan and add crushed tomatoes

6. Add remaining 3 Sazon Goya packets

7. Taste it and make sure the overall taste is mexican chili-ish. If not, add another seasoning packet.

9. Add 2 cans of refried beans and mix thoroughly.

You now have a choice. Once it is fully heated, add some cheese and you are done. However, the way I did it was to place it in an oven safe drish, sprinkle some cheese and mixed it through and baked it for 45 minutes at 425. Make sure the top is covered in aluminum so it doesn't dry out and that the baking dish is big enough so that the juices don't boil over.

I dished up 10 1/2 cup servings for the future and fed the rest to my husband and stepdaughter. If this is going to be a family meal for ~4, then you won't have leftovers.
