Cook the beans in water according to package directions. This will dictate the basic amount of water to use. Feel free to add water to yield your preferred chili consistency.

In a frying pan, saut?the meat until browned; reserve; saut?the onions and chilies until the onions are transparent (use a little canola oil if fat from meat is insufficient).
