My Favorite Chili

Submitted by Seasoned Cook

"FANTASTIC!! A delicious chili with bits of diced tomatoes and seasonings. Contains two kinds of beans which help compromise the just-right flavors for my family! This recipe has been fine tuned and is a delight served with the cheese and sour cream!!! Just add a piece of cornbread or crackers!"

the directions need some attention.(I do wish chef's would proof read their work) here's how I made it; cooked the 1st 4 ing.'s together,added the remaining 9 & simmered 1/2 hr. we don't have 6 oz. cans of tomato sauce in this neck of the woods, I did use a 6oz. can of tom. paste. This turned out a tad sweet for our taste, not really a chili tasting chili. It's OK but I won't make it again.
