Chili- one pot

1 packet Chili Seasoning mix
1 small can diced green chilies (do not drain)

1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon pepper
1 can chopped or pureed Stewed tomatoes (do not drain)
4 cans of a variety of beans (black, navy, pinto, white etc.) (do not drain)
4 cups of water (We like thick chili, so I only used one can of water, by using one of the bean
cans, you may want more or less)

Simmer for half an hour. (don’t add any extra water until the chili has simmered for a while as it does get a little thinner as it cooks)
