3cupstomato sauce

4ouncescanned chopped green chiles

Instructions
In a large pot over medium to medium-high heat, combine the ground beef and the onion and sauté for 10 minutes, or until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Drain grease, if desired.
While the meat and onions are cooking, grab a medium mixing bowl and add the tomato sauce, salsa, green chiles, and seasonings; stir to combine.
Once the meat is cooked thoroughly, add the tomato mixture to the pot, add in the dark and light kidney beans and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover chili with a lid, leaving a slight crack to let our steam, and let the chili simmer for an hour; string occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom.
Remove the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until it's thickened.
