FAVORITE CHUCK WAGON SALAD

RING THE DINNERBELL!

 

I know you are probably spending your summer days outdoors, playing hard and

working in your garden.

This is a wonderful summer dinner when you want to satisfy those little buckaroos

that show up at your dinner table about 6:00 PM!

 

 

 

Hey.......

I received "Two Thumbs Up" from ole' Duke!

 

 

Favorite Chuck Wagon Salad

2 lbs. ground chuck

1 20- ounce can tomato sauce

1 29- ounce can kidney beans, untrained

1 29- ounce can pinto beans, untrained

1 cup of diced yellow onion

1 4- ounce can diced green chilies

¼ cup diced celery

3 medium Roma tomatoes, chopped

2 t. cumin

2 T. chili powder

2 t. salt

Coarse ground black pepper, to taste

2 cups water

In a large Dutch oven, brown the ground chuck, and drain the grease. Brown the onion and celery. Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer to 3-4 hours, stirring often.

 

We made this like a "frito pie"....just layer your favorite lettuce combination with crushed tortilla chips, ladle the chili over this, sour cream, fresh avocado and top with shredded cheddar cheese! This is SO GOOD!!!!

 

 

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that you find make you smile.

 It doesn't get any better than receiving an unexpected grandbaby hug,

when a little boy finds "fun" in a pair of funny, green rubber teeth!
