3 lb. ground chuck
1 medium onion
1 quart of home canned tomatoes ( or store bought)

1-15 oz can of tomato sauce
1/2 pkg. McCormick Chili seasoning mix (hot)
1 heaping TB of chow chow (homemade relish)-optional
Chili powder
Texas pete
Salt & pepper

Brown hamburger and onion together and drain. Add beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce and chow chow. Add chili powder, Texas pete, salt and pepper to taste.

I serve chili with shredded cheese on top and a dollop of sour cream and a plate of saltine crackers along with a side salad.

I freeze the extra chili.
