Ground beef with beans in a tomato sauce.
Spanish for «chili with meat», this dish is made of diced or ground beef and chili peppers. It originated in Texas, where it is commonly referred to as «a bowl of red». Texans would not add beans to the mixture, but outside the Lone Star State beans are requisite and the dish should then be called «chili con carne with beans».

We made this for about 9 people, and it couldn't have been better. Everyone loved it and I think it will be a repeat on other group dinner occasions.
Thanks, made this for 9 people and got many compliments! Very tasty, for sure I would make this again!
