Ingredients

• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
• 1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 0.25 onion, chopped
• 0.5 (1.25 ounce) package spicy chili seasoning mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Step 2

Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until beef is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

Step 4

Stir in beans, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chili seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Continue simmering while finish remaining steps.

Step 5

Combine self-rising flour and buttermilk in a bowl (dough will be very sticky). Scoop about 1/4 cup dough; gently pat into a 5-inch circle on a well-floured work surface. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 6

Fry 1 dough circle until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Fry bread will expand in size as it cooks. Drain on paper towels; place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven to keep warm while fry remaining dough pieces.

Step 7

Top fried bread with ground beef mixture; serve.
