This chili won me 1st place in my sons cubscouts pack chili cookoff. Its very easy, very delicious, and an awesome comfort food. On a cold night this will warm you up in a heart beat!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 5 lbs hamburger meat
• 2 pkgs mild chili mix
• 1 pkg hot chili mix
• 1 small bottle chili powder
• 1 can diced tomatoes w/ green chilis
• 1 can ranch style beans
• 6 cans tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 large pot

1. Cook hamburger meat in pot until completely browned. Then drain off all excess grease and discard the grease.

2. Add to the meat the whole can of tomatoes, the whole can of beans and and all 3 of the chili mixes. Stir the ingredients well.

3. Add all 6 cans of tomato sauce and stir the ingredients again. Cover the pot with a tight fitting lid so that it will not splatter and allow all ingredients to simmer together.

4. Then add in the whole bottle of chili powder. Stir all ingredients together again. Recover the pot and again allow the chili to come to a simmering boil. Spoon chili into bowls then serve and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• yes i really did say a whole bottle of chili powder. I promise it really doesnt become that hot.
• Do not allow chili to come to a full boil it will burn the tomato sauce
• Stir occasionally to keep anything from stucking to the bottom or seperating
• this is very good over tortilla chips, sprinkled w/ cheese, green and white onions, and tomatoes even a lil salsa
• Caution when serving this will be very hot
