Then add a can of tomato sauce and 15 oz of water (preferably Chugwater). You can use the tomato sauce can to measure out your water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and simmer.

Add the two cans of pinto beans juice and all, return to simmering for about 30 minutes. Don’t forget to stir the chili occasionally during the 30-minute cooking time.

If you are having a party you can create a Buffalo Nachos bar with all of the toppings and have your guests create their own personalized Buffalo Nachos.
