Making Chugwater Chili
In a medium pot, brown 2 pounds ground beef and drain the excess fat.
Stir in 3 rounded tablespoons Chugwater Chili Seasoning or Chugwater Chili Hot Chili Seasoning if you want it spicier.
Then add a 15-ounce can of tomato sauce and 15 ounces of water. I usually rinse the tomato sauce can with water and add that to the pot. This helps clean the leftover tomato sauce out of the can and allows you to use all of the sauce in the chili. Bring to a boil. While stirring so you do not burn it. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add in two 15-ounce cans of pinto beans undrained and return to a simmer.
