Recipe Introduction

"Found this one years ago and I have been sending it as gifts since, Thought it might be a great addition to your holidays as well!! It is just BEAUTIFUL."

List of Ingredients

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



Recipe

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
