Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
• 2 cans of Mrs. Grime’s chili beans
• 2 cans of tomatoes (I prefer peeled)
• 1 can of tomato soup
• onion
• green peppers (optional)
• chili powder
• tomato juice or V8 juice (about 1 pop-sized can)
• salt & pepper

Instructions

Brown ground beef in a large skillet. Add chopped onion and green pepper while hamburger is cooking. When hamburger is browned, drain. Add 1 can of chili beans to the hamburger mixture and simmer on low.

In a large pan, combine all remaining ingredients. Add enough tomato juice/V8 to reach desired thickness of chili. Stir soup mixture and then add hamburger mixture. Let simmer, the longer the better. I usually add some chili powder to this. (Remember, there is chili seasoning in the chili beans.)

Notes

P.S. You don't have to add one can of the chili beans to the hamburger but that is how Bob always done it. Kind of mixes the flavor of the meat and flavor of the chili sauce in the chili beans.

• Some people add picante sauce to their chili. Be careful if you try that. I don't like it. Judy made chili with picante sauce and I did not like it at all. She maybe used too much but ick! It wasn't for me. (Jane didn't like it either)
