Chili Con Carne

4 cups cooked pinto beans

1 cup ground beef

1 large onion chopped fine

3 cups water or chicken broth

4 cups canned tomatoes, smashed

2 tablespoons chili powder

3 teaspoons salt

sour cream

cheddar cheese, grated

jalapeños

Drain 4 cups cooked pinto beans in a colander. Run water over beans to rinse well. Place beans in a large pot. Pinch off pieces of the ground beef and place in pot. Add chopped onions (or broth), tomatoes, chili powder and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer an hour. Stir to prevent sticking. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, grated cheddar cheese and jalapenos or with fried corn cakes or crackers.

Add salt, if needed.
