Try Taco Soup!

1-1/2 lbs ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 chopped green bell peppers
1 can corn, drained
1 can light kidney beans, drained
1 can dark kidney beans, drained
2 cans 14/16 oz tomato sauce
2 packets of Lowry's taco seasoning

Brown ground beef and half way through add the onions and peppers. Drain and return to pot. Add everything but seasoning. Top with water to get desired thinness, add seasoning to taste (I add both packs, but it may be too seasoned for some). Simmer and let the flavors mingle. Top with shredded cheese and fritos.

Here's my Chili recipe. My son used to cook for the local bingo hall charity and 17 quarts of this was consumed twice weekly. Enjoy!
1 pound turkey, ground or use ground beef if desired
1 1/2 cups onion
2 cans kidney beans, canned, 15.5 oz.
1 can tomatoes, diced, 14.5 oz
2 cups water
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon salt

brown ground meat. add ingredients in order to large stockpot. bring to boil. reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. remove from heat and let cool. reheat and serve
serving size: 10oz. 1.25 cups

I use a quart of home canned stewed tomatoes an d a quart of home canned tomato juice. I also add a couple tablespoons of either brown or white sugar. Sugar Takes away the acidity

Had this recently at a "Soup-luck" party: loved it:
cook 3 lbs hamburger with 1 chopped onion
add 1 large can chili beans(30 oz)
add 3 cans (15 oz )beans, drained, your choice of:

black beans
pinto beans
white northern beans
butter beans
kidney beans
garbanzo beans
Add
1 large can (46 oz) tomato juice
1 cup catsup
1 cup brown sugar
simmer 20 minutes, add more tomato juice if desired.
serve with grated cheese, rice, corn chips, tortilla chips

My personal favorite mix is pinto beans, white beans and garbanzos.

Here's the way I learned to make chili - Hoosier style

Brown 1 to 1 1/2 lbs ground beef with onions and drain. Add 1 large can of tomato juice, 1 can of light red kidney beans, 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes with green chilis, and a tablespoon or so of chili powder. Cook 1 cup of elbow macaroni and add to chili. This is a pretty soupy chili, good with crackers crumbled in if you like, or with shredded cheese on top.
