Nana’s Chili

Description:
As a newly wed in 1970 and young mother I had to learn to make ends meet. One way was to learn to stretch a meal with just pocket change. What a great comfort food for anytime of the year, especially in the fall and winter

Ingredients:
1 - Pound of lean hamburger (more or less)
1 - Large onion chopped (more or less)
2 - Large green peppers chopped (more or less)
2 - 27 oz. cans of Bush’s Chili Beans (Mild Sauce)
1 - Quart home-canned tomatoes (cut into small pieces)
1 1/2 - Teaspoon of salt (more or less)
2 - Teaspoon of chili powder (more or less)

Directions:
Brown the hamburger in a very large iron skillet. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil then turn down heat and let simmer about 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Depending on how hungry you are! This chili is best made the night before then re-warm the next day for the flavor to enter all the ingredients.

When you put the chili in bowls, sprinkle shredded sharp cheese on the top. Some people also like to sprinkle a little hot sauce on the top of the chili along with the cheese. Best when served with homemade corn bread, homemade rolls and crackers.
