My chili is pretty simple.
1 64 oz can tomato juice
1 lb hamburger/ ground turkey or veggie crumbles
1 lb sausage
2 cans Hormel chili w/ or w/o beans
1/2 box of elbow macaroni
2 pkgs chili seasoning mix
3 T worcestershire sauce
chili powder & cumin to taste
Brown hamburger & sausage in lg skillet til no longer pink; drain. While meat is cooking, bring lg pan of water to boil and add pasta. Cook until just almost done; drain. Place pasta, meat, chili w/ or w/o beans in lg pan. Sprinkle with seasoning mix and worcestershire sauce. Add tomato juice and 3 cups water. Stir to combine. Add chili powder & cumin to taste. Simmer for about 30-40 mins.
The boys and I don't like chunks of tomato, etc so I don't add those. Patrick doesn't like beans so I make a small pan without the beans. I'll make a big stockpot of chili and we'll eat out of it for several days. Sounds really yummy right now but considering it's been unseasonably hot (95) here the past couple weeks, chili making will have to wait!!
