Cabbie’s Cooking

This is the chili that I grew up on.  My mother (Ruthlace) made it often.  It was a great meal for a large (or small) family.  The potatoes make it more like soup than chili.  I like the fact that it’s lighter and milder than typical chili.  Here’s the recipe.

Chili Soup

2 lbs lean ground beef

1 large can diced tomatoes (if you like tomatoes, you can add more)

4 medium potatoes, diced fine

2 large onions, diced fine

4 tablespoons chili powder

2 or 3 cans beans (great Northern, navy, pinto, pork & beans - whichever you prefer)

salt/pepper to taste

Brown ground beef in large stock pot.  Add the onions, tomatoes and potatoes. Simmer for about an hour.  Add the beans.  Simmer a few minutes longer.  Serve with crackers or corn bread.
