Grandma Gerry’s Taco Filling

2 pounds ground beef

1 large onion,  chopped

4 – 15 oz. cans kidney beans with the juice

4-5   8 oz. cans tomato sauce (it needs to look red)

chili powder to taste

cumin (to taste)

salt and pepper (to taste)

Brown ground turkey with onions.  Drain any fat.

Drain 1 can of the kidney beans and smash them up. (I do this in a small food processor but can be done with a fork) This helps thicken it.

Add all ingredients and simmer until most or all of the liquid is gone.  It needs to be real thick.  This takes a couple of hours.

Freeze Ahead:  Divide into zip lock freezer bags.
