    Notes

    • Your list didn’t have amounts beyond the beef, so the can sizes, counts and seasoning are my standard picks. Tell me what you actually use and I’ll fix them.
    • No time to brown? Put the raw beef in and break it up after an hour, but browning tastes better and lets you drain the fat.
    • Freezes well for 3 months.
    • Nutrition, per serving (8), assuming 90/10 beef (fattier beef adds calories, less after draining): beef 200 calories / 23g protein; beans 85 / 5.5; corn, tomatoes, sauce, peppers and onion about 80 / 2.5; seasoning 12. About 375 calories and 31g protein.
