Hamburger Mix Easy Pantry Chili


I love having an easy pantry meal; always on hand, that is ready, with no fuss, in 20 minutes!  This chili from “The Farm Journal "Thrifty Cook” is perfect.  This week I made it along with Best Ever Muffins and a small green salad. 
This is why I can versatile Hamburger Mix; no thawing, no mess, no last minute fuss.  If you can't can it, freeze it, and thaw it before use.
I just multiply this recipe if I need to feed more.  We really like the addition of the hominy; it gives it that Southwestern cornmeal taste right in the bowl. 
I had already measured out my muffin dry ingredients in a covered bowl, had my muffin pan greased and ready, and had the milk and egg beaten in a small covered measuring cup in the refrigerator, to make the muffins quicker too.  We got home late, but had a good hot meal in short order.

  1. I love hominy. My mother made it two ways. With scrambled eggs for breakfast and with bread and milk for lunch. I will have to try this recipe. I love having browned ground meat in the freezer, so versatile.
