Kitchen Meets Culinary Clutz

I was just thinking, "What if other families were smaller than mine! And if other families were smaller than mine, then they would make less portions. And if they make less portions to serve then my big chili recipe would be way too much for the smaller brood who might want less!" Boy do I feel so thoughtless of the little people who like less! *blush*

Ok so here you have it, our South Shore Original Chili recipe! This recipe feeds a family size of 4-6. It's a perfect recipe for an after school snack or a quick weekend lunch, and it's a snap to whip up (20 minutes start to finish)!

• 1 lb ground beef, crumbled, browned and drained
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 15-ounce can kidney beans
• 1 15-ounce can red beans
• 1/2 yellow onion, minced
• 1/4 cup chili seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 dash crushed red pepper
• Seasoned Salt (to desired taste)

1.  Ground the beef into crumbs in a 4 quart saucepan, drain.
2.  Stir in tomato sauce and water.
3.  Add two cans beans (do not drain), and  minced onions.
4.  Blend in chili seasoning, garlic powder and crushed red pepper.
5.  Sprinkle with Seasoned Salt (enough to reach desired taste) and blend in.
6. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Have a great weekend!
