Meanwhile, melt butter in large skillet and add onions, chilies, and garlic. Saute until onion is soft. Add chopped sirloin and cook over moderate heat until meat is brown. In a separate pan brown sausage and pour off fat. Add sausage to meat mixture. Sprinkle with flour and stir to blend, then transfer to Dutch oven or 8 qt. kettle. Add pinto and canned beans and all remaining ingredints except sour cream; bring just to boil. Lower heat and simmer about 30 minutes.

Skim off fat with a cold spoon as it rises to the top. Serve with sour cream. This freezes wonderfully.
