There’s no better comfort food on a cold, snowy winter’s day than a big bowl of hot chili!! Accompanied with a handful of saltine type oyster crackers and maybe a tangy ham salad or cheese salad sandwich, it makes for a hearty meal!

I have been making chili for many years and pretty much just wing it-adding ingredients and simmering the whole business until it looks and tastes just right.
Occasionally I would buy the packets of McCormick’s chili seasoning, just because it was more convenient and faster.
The family seemed to like it, so when I discovered that the same mix could be found in large containers which made it a lot more economical, I started buying that.

I still don’t have an exact recipe, but I use around 2 pounds of ground beef, browned, three 15 ounce cans of kidney beans and two 15 ounce cans of tomato sauce. Then add the chili seasoning mix until it tastes right. (around 1/4 cup suits us).Simmer for about ten minutes and the chili is ready to eat.
