My "basic seasoning mix" which is about the same for OUR version of chili, goulash, and Spanish rice:
For 1 quart jar of home canned tomatoes and 1 pound of ground beef (plus other ingredients):
! T. chili powder
1 t. salt (the canned tomatoes have 1 tsp. of salt per quart)
1 to 3 t. brown sugar or white sugar (depends on your taste buds)
1/4 - 1/2 t black pepper
Optional: 1 t. baking cocoa (the unsweetened powder stuff) for chili
I usually make whatever with 3 pounds of ground beef and 3 to 4 jars of canned tomatoes when I make whatever.
