Mike's Chili

This chili, alone, was reason enough to marry my husband.  After tasting Mike's, he was in charge of the chili-making from then on. ♥

Salt not pictured.

Mike's Chili

2 lbs. ground beef

1 cup chopped onions

2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce

1 (2 oz.) pkg. Williams Original Chili Seasoning (seasons 4 lbs. meat)

2-4 tsp. (to taste) chopped, canned green chilies

1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (14.5 oz.) can whole tomatoes, undrained

2 (15 oz.) cans black beans, undrained

2 (15.5 oz.) cans kidney beans, undrained

2 (15.5 oz.) cans pinto beans, undrained (or 1 30 oz. can)

Salt to taste

In a large stock pot (We use an 8-qt.), brown ground beef and onion over medium heat; drain.  Stir in tomato sauce, chili seasoning (to taste--we use the whole package, but less can be used with more added later), green chilies (We use 2 tsp.), diced tomatoes, and whole tomatoes (break up slightly before adding).  Simmer for about an hour on medium-low.  Add beans and simmer for 2-4 hours.  Salt to taste.
