Corn Chip Chili
Serves: 6
Serving size: about 1 1/4 cups

Instructions

Wash hands.

Remove corn chips and set aside.

Combine beans, seasonings, and 6 cups water in a large pan. Heat to boiling.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 2 hours or until the beans are soft; stir occasionally.

Stir in one undrained 15-ounce can diced tomatoes; return to simmer.

Serve in soup bowls with corn chips atop each.

Tips:

Using two or more kinds of beans makes this a more colorful gift jar.
Put the jar in a gift bag along with a can of tomatoes and the printed directions.
Consider saving one gift jar for your own ready-to-cook “end of the month” menu.
