Simple start here recipe:
Dice and start sweating an onion (Walla Walla in season)
add 1# 80/20 or whatever is on sale ground beef and brown
add 2 16oz drained canned kidney beans (mom uses the juice)
add 1 16oz can diced tomatoes
~1 tsp spice island (safeway?) chilli con carne seasoning
A coulpe shakes of johnny's seasoning salt and some ground pepper
(I usually use 1/2 the seasonings on the meat while browning)
Add some water to cover and simmer on low around 3-4 hours. Can be eaten sooner. Top with greated cheese like chedarjack and a dollop of sour cream. Fritos if not corn bread. Make extra it's best the next day.
This can be varied in about every way, 1/2 pork sausage, different beans, add chillies you like, more tomato is common, maybe fresh, chopped or paste.
