Makes 2 3/4 cups TO MAKE CHILI CON CARNE: In a medium size heavy saucepan over moderate heat, brown 1 pound very lean ground beef and drain off any fat. Add 1 can (1 pound) low sodium tomatoes, drained and chopped, and 1 cup water or low sodium beef broth. Stir in 1/2 cup Chili Seasoning Mix. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 cups cooked and drained red kidney beans and heat through.
