Dry Chili Mix
Recipe from Rainy Day Food Storage
1 1/4 c. instant red beans
1/2 c. tomato powder
1 c. freeze dried beef (I used 1/2 hamburger, 1/2 roast beef)
1/2 c. dehydrated mixed bell peppers
1/2 c. freeze dried tomato dices (i omitted these)
1/4 c. freeze dried chopped onions
1/4 c. freeze dried celery
1 Tbsp. beef bouillon
2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
To make the chili:
Add 8 cups of water to a pot over high heat.
Add entire contents of jar and bring to a boil.
Simmer over medium heat until beans are cooked through, 20-30 minutes.
This chili will thicken up quiet a bit during the final minutes of cooking time, so don’t panic if it looks too watered down, just keep boiling.
Serve with shredded cheese, optional.
