Painted Desert Chili Mix In A Jar

Ingredients and Instructions

Layer in a 1−quart jar:

1/4 C. dried parsley

2 T. granulated garlic

2 T. taco seasoning

2 T. dried onion flakes

2 T. taco seasoning

2 T. cumin

2 T. paprika

2 T. white cornmeal

2 T. taco seasoning

2 T. granulated garlic

2 T. chili powder

2 T. dried parsley

1 C. dried pinto beans

1/4 C. small dried white beans

1/4 C. small dried black beans

Approximately 1 C. dried kidney beans

The ingredients are layered, like sand art. Don’t worry about getting the layers

even. The desert effect comes from the rippled appearance of the spices. One tip

is to carefully add each seasoning along the edges of the jar, then fill in the middle

of the layer. This way all of the beautiful colors show along all of the edges.

Attach these instructions to the jar:

Pour contents of jar into 12−quart pot.

Add:

1 medium diced onion

4 (15 oz.) cans diced tomatoes

1 large can of tomato paste

1/2 C. cider vinegar

1/2 C. brown sugar

49 oz. tomato juice

2 lb. ground beef or turkey, browned

Fill remainder of the pot with water. Bring to boil. Let simmer for 2 1.2 to 3 hours.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
