Grandma's Chili

Ingredients

2 LB lean ground beef

1 onion, diced

4 15 oz cans of chili beans in mild sauce

1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained

1 chili seasoning packet (I like the chili kit)

1 cup (give or take) tomato juice - more or less depending on how thick you prefer your chili

salt to taste

Instructions

Brown your beef along with the onion until cooked through.  Drain the fat and transfer to a 5 qt crock pot.  Add chili beans, kidney beans, seasoning packet, and tomato juice.  Cook on high for 1 hour and then turn to low for 4 hours.  Taste and add salt as needed.

*If you are using the Chili Kit like I do, I discard the thickening packet, use the entire seasoning packet, about 1/4 of the cayenne pepper, and about half of the salt.

Serve with saltine crackers, cheese, sour cream, onions, bacon or whatever else you like on your chili.
