• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 2 (24 ounce) cans refried beans (fat-free works)
• 2 (12 ounce) cans diet cola (normal will be too sweet)
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1 cup chunky salsa, heat depending on taste
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
• 1 lb shredded chicken breasts or 1 lb ground beef, cooked
• 1⁄8 teaspoon cumin
• hot sauce, to taste

directions

1. Combine the refried beans, sugar, salsa, onions, beans, cumin and cooked meat in a soup pot.
2. Put over medium heat and gradually add cola, stirring, adding more or less to consistency preference. Sometimes I like to use lowfat or skim milk instead of cola.
3. Stir in hot sauce and bring to a slow boil.
4. Reduce heat and let simmer for atleast 10 minutes.
