My Mom's Homemade Chili from camping.about.com This is how my mom used to make it when I was growing up. The only difference with this recipe is that I can no longer get "Frank's Chili Powder", which used cinnamon, so I add some to the pot. Ingredients: 1.5 lbs lean ground beef 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes 1 15 oz can tomato sauce 1 15 oz can kidney beans 1 medium onion chopped 1 green pepper chopped 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups water Brown the ground beef in a large skillet, set aside to drain. Brown the chopped onion and green pepper. Combine all ingredients (except the beans) in a large pot, bring to a boil, then lower the temperature and simmer for about 2 hours. Add the beans and simmer 1 more hour. Serve hot with grated cheese and crackers. http://camping.about.com/travel/camping/library/recipes/blrec003.htm?terms=chili camping.guide@about.com
