On the first day of Christmas...

On the first day of Christmas, Retro gave to me...

her mother's chili recipe!


Cindy's Chili

1 lb ground beef
2 - 15oz cans kidney beans (one can dark red, one can light)
1 - 15oz can tomato sauce
1 - 10oz can Ro*Tel Mexican tomatoes
1 heaping tbsp chili powder
1 onion, left whole
salt to taste
Fritos corn chips, for garnish

In large pot, brown ground beef. Do not drain. Add all remaining ingredients (again, without draining any of the liquids). Fill one of the empty 15oz cans with water and add. Float the onion for flavor. Simmer on low for 1-2 hours, or all day in crock pot on low.

Mmmmm...chili. I make a vegetarian version, of course. So yummy. Never thought to float an onion. Might try that next time.
