Urgent Unlocking the Mystery of Chili Beans in Sauce for Quick Turkey Chili

[kimmyb76]

I'm making this on Friday for a show, but what exactly is chili beans in sauce? Is this a type of bean? I was hoping my host would know - because I don't! Turns out - either does she...

Chili Beans are usually near the kidney beans on the shelves. I think they are actually pinto beans in a sauce. They can be hard to find sometimes depending on where you live. I'd ask at the store's customer service desk just to be sure. They may carry it, but it might just be hard to spot on the shelves. Near me, there are usually 2 brands to choose from, but the store will have so many other bean varieties that it's hard to spot them sometimes.

If you can't find them, you could substitute with pinto beans or kidney beans and add a small can of tomato sauce/puree and some chili powder or taco seasoning. Hope that helps!

Mrs. Grim's are the ones around here. It's just the kind of beans you normally add to chili.
