It turned cold in Texas one hour last week. A blue norther came in and dropped high temps from the 70s one day to the 40s the next. It has been out of the 40s since with overnight freezes. When this happens, the spousal unit insists on a pot of chili and beans. Yeah, I know! No REAL Texan would put beans in his chile but this was an order from the spousal unit.
I started with a pound of 90/10 ground sirloin and a pound of maple flavored pork sausage and these canned goods. I would have used pinto beans if I had any, but these were what was in the pantry.
After browning the meat thoroughly in the dutch oven, I added the Pioneer chili seasoning and the canned goods then brought everything to a slow boil. I then set it on a low simmer to evaporate off some of the juices (I forgot to drain the canned goods).
So, here you go - chili and beans for a cold Texas day.
