1 teaspoon chili powder
1 medium size can tomato sauce (~15oz)
1 small can tomato sauce (8oz)

Brown ground beef, drain fat
Combine all ingredients and simmer at least 4 hours in a crock pot
Serve with fried flour shells, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, & sour cream



Chicken Enchilada

Sauté 1/3 cup chopped onion in one Tablespoon butter

Stir in:
¼ cup ripe olives (optional)
1 (4oz) can diced green chilies, drained
