Why can’t I find instant mashed potatoes?

When I was a kid, we had this dish all the time. In talking about it now, our family realized that Colburn Chili was Hamburger Wok with extra ingredients. Some say this is not chili, but to us, it was. So I decided to make it again, but up he quality of ingredients.

Brown Hamburger in a pan

add shitake mushrooms, Italian olives, san marzano tomatoes, kidney beans.

Season with chili powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika.

Serve on rice.

It’s been awhile
