GRAYCE'S CHILI

Hi everyone.  Today I have a recipe for Chili that was my Mother's.  We have been making this Chili recipe for as long as I can remember.  It isn't anything fancy or complicated but anyone who has ever had it says it is the best.  The reason for putting it up today is that I have had a request.  It comes from Michelle, who was one of Kate's teachers at Sherman Oaks Elementary.  She is a huge Johnny Depp fan, as am I, so her request takes priority today on my blog.  So Michelle, for you and all Chili fans, and all Johnny Depp fans, here is my recipe.

GRAYCE'S CHILI

This serves 4
Just double or triple it to serve a crowd

1 lb of ground beef
1 large can of tomato sauce (15 0z)
1 large can Campbell's tomato soup
2 large cans of red kidney beans
1 green pepper chopped
1 small onion chopped
Chili powder to taste
Salt and pepper
Cheddar cheese
chopped onions

Finely chop the onion and the green pepper. In a pot put about 1/4 cup of olive oil.  Saute the vegetables until tender.  Add the ground beef and break up and saute until nicely browned.  Add the tomato soup and the sauce and the beans.  Stir to mix well.  Add chili powder to taste.  Mild or hot.  Add just a little salt.  Add the pepper.  Cook over low heat until thickened.  About an hour and forty five minutes.
Top with cheese and onions.

Sounds simple and it is, but it is the best Chili ever!  Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping in today
Ciao
Grayce
