Chili

2 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 (6 oz.) cans tomato paste
6 tomato paste cans water
1 clove garlic, minced
salt (I use1 tsp.)
1 tsp. pepper
1 large can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 pkg. chili seasoning mix
Simmer for two hours. Add beans. Heat 15 minutes.

Here’s what I used:

2 lbs ground beef (I used 1 lb. pork sausage + 1 lb. ground beef)
1 onion, chopped
2 cans tomato paste (6 oz cans)
6 tomato paste cans of water
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 packs low-sodium chili seasoning mix
1 can Fire Roasted tomatoes, undrained (Judy’s addition)
salt and pepper to taste
Brown the beef, onion and garlic. Drain and rinse under hot water. Add all the other ingredients. Simmer for a few hours or toss it in the crockpot and cook it on low for 5 or 6 hours. I didn’t have much time, so mine only cooked 45 minutes or so. It was still yummy.
