Sooz's Chili (Ground Beef and Beans)
Although I have modified it some, I’ve been making this chili since 1977 when my then fiancé asked me to please use his ex-wife’s recipe for chili because he didn’t like mine as well! Guess we know why I didn’t marry HIM! I know that there are a ton of Chili recipes on this board, but I'd like to have mine out there too for my family to have access to. I have two recipes for chili: this one (which is a bit sweeter and fairly mild) and one made with brisket. This is the one I make when I am in a hurry and I used it to make A Good Things Hully Gully (Frito Chili Salad) Recipe # 224143. I also serve this over corn bread or rolled in flour tortillas as burritos.

DIRECTIONS
- In a Dutch oven or large saucepan brown ground beef. In the last few minutes drain off the excess fat.
- Add cumin, garlic, paprika, oregano, onion powder, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, salt, sugar, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and diced tomatoes and mix well.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
- Add both cans of beans with their liquid.
- Cover and simmer for an additional hour (or more!).
- Serve in bowls over crumbled corn bread topped with shredded cheese and onions (for those who like onions).
- ****Sometimes I just brown the ground beef, add all of the rest of the the ingredients and then dump everything in a crock pot to simmer on low all day.***.
