Recipe Friday - Chili

I'm not a big fan of chili because it's usually too soupy or too many tomatoes.  Prince Charming loves chili but doesn't like too many beans and finding a happy medium doesn't happen often.  However, I think I may have found it in this recipe that came from a church cookbook.  The only request was from George and he asked that I add noodles.  With the cold, rainy weather we are having, this will be a perfect meal for today.

CHILI

1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 qt. tomato juice
1 (12 oz) can tomato paste
2 (15 oz.) cans peeled and diced tomatoes
2 (15 1/2 oz.) cans mild chili beans
2 (15 1/2 oz.) cans hot chili beans
1 pkg. chili seasoning mix
few drops Tabasco sauce
chili powder to taste

Brown ground beef and onion; drain.  Add rest of ingredients and simmer until done.

The last time I made this I put it in a large crockpot (didn't add all the juice since it wouldn't all fit), and I used 4 cans of mild chili beans because I also browned chorizo with the hamburger to give the chili a different flavor.

Enjoy and stay warm!

Awesome! I've been wanting to make chili for a long time now. But I'll have to crank up the a/c in my apartment to make it feel like winter since it's still so hot down here!

My husband loves good chili. I'll try this one out the next time he asks for some.

Have a great weekend!
