Beach Chili Beans

These chili beans were a staple in our refrigerator growing up and fed copious amounts of friends that joined me for lunch on the regular. My mom also made it in large quantities when we would summer at the beach…hence the name.

When my mom shared this “recipe” with me, I cracked up. Little did I know it was a doctored version of chili beans that she made taste homemade. It has a little kick to it, too. LOVE how easy it is to feed a crew with this one!

***I’m giving it to you exactly as my mom dictated it to me way back when.
