• 2-4 lb. ground chuck
• 4 cans tomato sauce
• 1 medium can tomato paste
• 1 large can tomatoes
• 3-4 Tbs. chili powder
• 1 large onion
• 4 cans chili beans
• 1-2 tsp. hot sauce (I use Texas Pete but any kind will do)
• Salt and pepper to taste

In pan cook meat and onion. Drain grease. Add 1 can tomato sauce and 1 Tbs. chili powder. In large pot add 3 cans tomato sauce, can of tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 Tbs. chili powder and salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat. Add 4 cans chili beans and the meat and onion mixture you cooked in the beginning. You can add more chili powder and hot sauce to your taste. Let simmer on low heat 2-5 hours. The longer it cooks the better it is I think.
