Instructions

  • Step 1

    Heat the oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat.  Add the onions and peppers and season with salt and pepper if desired.   Cook vegetables 3 minutes or until the onions are softened, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 2

    Season the ground beef with salt and pepper.  Add the beef to the saucepot and cook until browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.
     

  • Step 3

    Stir in picante sauce and broth and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.  Stir in beans, corn and additional broth, if needed and simmer 1 minute or until heated through. Garnish, if desired, with your favorite chili toppings.  We like shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and cilantro.
