Faith58's Chili

I have made this for years and everyone loves it. I add more tomato sauce then called for and spices depending how spicy you like it. I also double the recipe so we can eat it more than one day. I also use 3-15 oz cans of tomato sauce based on me doubling this recipe and because we like it juicy. If you would like you can top with shredded cheddar cheese.. I make this with grilled cheese and pb&j spriral's for a complete meal. If you want to up the heat, add a can of chili's and put more chili powder
