I made this by dumping everything into a crock pot and cooking on high for a couple of hours, then on low until we were ready to eat. I used my stick blender to smooth out the clumps. Flavor was great.

Another great one from you, Kittencal. I made as written except I used Dancer's Recipe # 38756 Taco Seasoning as we try to reduce the amount of sodium we use. I did have to add a little water to thin down and I didn't run through the food processor as we like a little substance to our Hot Dog Chili and it had already cooked down quite a bit.

I can't believe I forgot to rate this. I've been making it for while now and we love it. I always make a double or triple batch and freeze a bunch. Makes great quick meals - sloppy joes, chili dogs, chili cheese fries. Yum. Homemade fast food!

Before I made this my first thought was thats ALOT of tomato paste with no water! I ended up only adding half the can of tomato paste and adding a cup of water. It was still tomatoey and VERY thick, so thick that my blender could hardly just "blend" it is pureed it, so the texture was like paste. The flavor however was so very good! I let it meld a day in the firdge and served in hot dogbuns with minced onion on top (and mustard for DH)...a coney joe! I will make it again but I don't think I will blend it again, I just pulsed once and got paste.
