well I made my chili....
I dont measure.... so forgive me...
I used about
2 handfuls of black beans
2 handfuls of white kidney beans
2 handfuls of pinto beans
3 handfuls of red kidney beans
I soaked them from about noon yesterday till about noon today...(I did it early so I would not forget)...
why does the ground chuck need to be browned first?
when I am making chili using the canned beans I just mix it altogether raw chuck in all and put it on low for 10 hours stirring when ever i think about it..lol
I know I will have to soak them over night before using them...
there is some debate though as if I will have to also boil the beans before adding them to the meat
I want to slowly get away from using canned goods if I can. they are simply way to expensive here. Unless they are on sale a can...
