• 7 also, drain the kidney beans.
• 8 just set these taters and beans aside and wait, you'll need 'em shortly.
• 9 also, go ahead and open (but do not drain) the corn and the can of tomatoes with chilies to have 'em ready.
• 10 when chuck and onion have browned, drain 'em real good into a big ol' strainer, then return 'em to the pan and set it back on the stove.
