Dodge Family Chili from Mom-to-Mom Recipe Library
http://www.homeschoolzone.com/cook/dodgechili.htm


This recipe comes from Judy Dodge from
Dunwoody, Georgia who has donated a a
wonderful family chili recipe for you to try. She
says, "Mom Dodge (My husband's mom)
always made this while we were traveling from
Atlanta to Nashville so it would be ready for us
when we arrived on Friday night no matter what
time we got there to visit for the weekend. She
usually served cornbread (with real corn in it)
and cole slaw and we looked forward to enjoying 
that each visit."

What You Need:

             1 or 1 1/2 lbs. ground sirloin (or chuck or round) 
             1 can tomato soup 
             1 can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis
             (May choose to use HOT) 
             1 pinch of sugar 
             1 medium onion, chopped 
             1/2 cup green pepper, chopped 
             2 stalks of celery, chopped 
             1 or 2 carrots, chopped 
             1 T. chili powder (optional)* 
             Red Kidney Beans (optional)
             The chili is quite hearty without the beans, and southerners
             often omit the beans which is why I didn't remember that. 

        What You Do:

          1.Brown the ground meat and drain. 
          2.Place it and all the rest of the ingredients in slow cooker (or
             Dutch oven) to simmer for hours.
             *We have an allergy to chili powder, so we don't use and the
             taste is still spicy enough.
