    Stir in beans. Cover; cook on Low heat setting about 5 minutes longer or until beans are hot. Top with cheese and onions.

  • Vary the taste by using black beans instead of pinto beans. If you like a milder chili, use mild salsa and a little less chili powder.
  • If you like, cook up a double batch of this hearty chili, then refrigerate or freeze half for another night. If you do make a double batch, use a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
