Happy Saturday! Today is definitely feeling fall-ish around here. This morning we woke up to a yard filled with leaves, & each leaf was covered with a little snow - as were the rooftops! I'm not sure I'm ready for this, are you? Yesterday (yes, just yesterday) we finally broke down & turned the furnace on - so that is somewhat of a relief. But, we still like to have lots of blankets around for snuggling. We're big on snuggling around here. During these fall/winter months, we're big on soup too. So, I thought I'd share a recipe today. It's basically my Gram's recipe for Chili. Our family has altered it a little through the years, but I make it a LOT & always think of her when I do.
Gram's Chili
2 cups tomato juice (Gram used 1 med. can of tomatoes)
1 can tomato soup
1 T. dehydrated onion (Gram used 1 med. onion, chopped fine)
1 lb. ground round (cooked, & drained well)
1 tsp. chili powder
1 can kidney beans (drained & rinsed)
1 green pepper (chopped fine)
3 ribs of celery (chopped fine)
3 cups water
(Gram also used 1/4 lb bacon, cooked well & chopped fine)
I make this recipe in the crock pot so I can just forget about it and have a taa-daa! dinner.
Cook the ground round, drain well & combine w/ the rest of the ingredients. Cover your crock pot, and cook on low all day, or on high for 1/2 the day. I've been happiest with the all-day results. The flavor is much better!
Stay warm today... do some snuggling... eat soup (and think of my Gram if you make this recipe!)
Hi there. I was wondering whether you would like to link this in to Food on Friday: Chillies and other spicy stuff. This is the link. You did some time ago link in a great dish to Food on Friday: Bacon. I now realize that I haven't been following your blog. Sorry about that. I have signed up to follow now. It would be great if you followed Carole's Chatter back. Have a super week.
