Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a medium size pot, brown ground beef and onion together. Drain any grease well.
  • Add chili powder, brown sugar, red cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic, vinegar, Tabasco sauce (if using), V-8 juice, tomatoes, and the JUICE ONLY from the can of kidney beans. Simmer over low heat until cooked down, about an hour or so.
  • Quickly stir in cornmeal to thicken (if you stir it in too slowly, the cornmeal will clump up and you'll have little yellow "floaters" in the chili).
  • Stir in kidney beans and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Top servings with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, if desired.
  • Note: You can make this as mild or as spicy as you like by adjusting the amounts of chili powder and tabasco. Like most tomato-based sauces, this tastes even better the next day!

    Group recipes was down when I was searching for chili recipes earlier. I wish I would have seen this version for tonight's dinner. It appears to have a nice blend of spices and seasonings. Thanks!
