Enchilada Sauce based Chili con Carne with Black Beans

I've been making these for years, the green chilis are a much better taste than the red sauce...enjoy :hungry

I made this up one day when my kids got home from school and they were starving. Now its their favorite dish!

:chef finished product.

for every family fiesta this is always a favorite (L)

For a small family and friends gathering. Make ahead of time. Serve with Spanish rice and black beans.

These shrimp and crab enchialadas feaure the hatch chili, a moderately spicy delicious chili that I learned about here on this app from MMOBRIAN. Our local market just started having them available . I bought a few and roasted and stuffed them with a wild rice and cheese mix and we loved the spicy but not overpowering heat and delicious flavor. This brought me to thinking they would make a great sauce for enchalaradas. The dish turned out so good! If you can't find the hatch chili this can still be made with another chili such as a poblano or anaheim, the jlavor will be different as will the spice level but they will still be delicious.

My go to chili recipe that I got from my mom!

Add celery or chopped green peppers to this recipe if you like these items in your chili. I would suggest sauteing them before adding. Instead of brown sugar, substitute about a quarter cup to a half cup very finely shredded carrots.

Cooking it in the crock pot helps the flavors really come together.

Way yum enchiladas. Vegetarian style
