Quick Chili

Here is a recipe I made up.

1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 qt. bottled tomatoes, pureed in blender
1 lb. cooked hamburger

2 pkgs taco seasoning
a little chili pwd
liquid smoke, original flavor (by spices)
pepper
garlic powder

Warm to boiling, allow to cool slightly before serving.

Here is an alternate I made last night


1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained


1 qt. bottled tomatoes, pureed in blender
1/2 lb leftover taco meat


1 pkg chili seasoning (mine was McCormick)
liquid smoke, original flavor (3 shakes)
3-5 shakes garlic powder
3-5 shakes onion powder

It needed pepper.

It really isn't as hard as I used to think.  It is really fast.  Almost as fast as warming up a can of chili (if hamburger is already cooked) and waaaaay better.  Just keep tossing in seasonings that go with chili until the sauce tastes good!
