Add beans, fresh corn (if using kernels from a cob) and remaining seasoning mixture from the small bowl. Toss to fully coat beans and beef with seasoning. Continue to cook until beans and corn are heated through.

Notes

Chili powder in Canada is quite mild; use caution if a different brand/type is used, especially when serving children. This recipe is great for leftovers that can be packed for lunch.
