I like my chili sweet.
Saute 1 onion in large skillet
Add 1 pound hamb cook to loose meat
Add 3 cans chili beans with sauce
Add 1/4 c or more ketchup
Add one can(chili can) water
If you like diced tomatoes add them in also
You can use tomato juice in place of water if you like.
Let it cook on simmer until it is blended well. My DH likes it thick so if you prefer it with more juice just add more ketchup/water or tomatoe juice if you prefer.
We don't add the water if we are going to use it for chili dogs. The thicker the better then.
