Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can 15 oz kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can 15 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 small onion diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, brown the beef with the onion and garlic, then drain the excess fat.
  2. Insert the broth, beans, spices and tomatoes. Stir, and let it come to a simmer.
  3. Let it simmer for 15 minutes so the flavors blend together, then let it cool a bit.
  4. Divide into sections, put in freezer zip bags, eliminate air, place bags flat, and freeze.
  5. At camp, place the bag in cool water to thaw. Cut off a corner of the bag and pour the contents into the pot. Heat gently over low heat while stirring.
