1# hamburger
Onion
1 can corn, drained
1 can kidney beans and liquid
24 oz. mild Pace picante sauce
48 oz. V8 vegetable juice
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. chili powder

NOTE: You can control the heat of the soup by choosing mild or hot picante sauce.

Chili

Gosh - is it just me, or are there a ton of Chili recipes out there? My word! If you tried a new recipe every day, it could take you many years of Autumns and Winters to get through them all! My family and I prefer the simple, everyday version over those with jalapenos, buffalo meat, white beans, or sliced zucchini. Believe me - my recipe is nothing special, but it is hearty and delicious. Thick, not brothy. Tomato-y with no chunks - just the way we like it.

1# hamburger
Onion flakes
Garlic powder

1 can Campbell's tomato soup

1 tsp. sugar

Salt & pepper to taste

Brown hamburger with onion and garlic; drain. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, 30-60 minutes. Serve over rice, or top with grated cheese and corn chips.
