Two 15 1/2 ounce cans of pinto beans
One 15 1/2 ounce can of niblet corn, drained

Chopped onions
Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; drain the excess fat, then transfer the browned beef and onions to a large crockpot or a stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, chilies, olives and seasonings, and cook on low setting all day(6 to 8 hours) if using a crockpot, or simmer over low heat for about 1 hour in a stockpot on the stove. Top with sour cream, cheese and onions.
Notes: If freezing, put in gallon freezer bags or other freezable container. Leave off the sour cream, cheese and onions until ready to serve.
