Texas Style Chili Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb hamburger
1 (4 ounce) package Carroll Shelby chili kit (use 1/3 or so of the package)
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 lb dry pinto beans

Preparation

Pick, and clean beans, remove any rocks, dirt, half or shriveled beans; rinse. Put beans in a 5 or 6 quart Dutch oven and fill with water. Bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes, turn off heat and let set at least 1 hour. Drain, rinse and return beans to pan.
Meanwhile prepare chili; brown hamburger, onions, and garlic in a skillet, drain excess fat, add Chili Kit, (add salt and cayenne to taste.) and tomato sauce. Let simmer 15 minutes; add to beans.
Fill pan with water and cook until beans are tender, about an hour. Serve with fresh homemade cornbread, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers soaked in vinegar.
