Notes

If you’re in a time crunch, during step 6 add all of the ingredients to the pot and simmer on the stove for 30 minutes.

For some spice, add hot sauce either to each individual serving or to the whole pot. Taste as add to ensure the best flavor for you.

This recipe can be served in a bowl, over hotdogs or on tortilla chips for nachos.
