How to Cook Pecos Red Chili

All you need

• 1 package Pecos Red Chili Mix
• 2 lbs ground beef (or other meat)
• 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
• 3 cups (24 oz) water

Cooking time: about 1 hour. Makes 1½ quarts (6 hearty cups).

The method

Brown the beef. Chili Blend A goes in first — it builds the deep base. Chili Blend B is the bright finish, added for the last twenty minutes. Simmer, don't rush. Then argue about toppings.

The hot pepper packet is optional: leave it out for mild, add to taste for serious.
