(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Snacks

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp seasoning salt, such as Lawry's
  • 3 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 (15oz) cans tomato sauce
  • 2 (15oz) cans kidney beans, drained
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar

Directions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add the ground beef, onion, mushrooms, seasoning salt, chili powder and cayenne. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the meat is no longer pink, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Add 2 cups water, the tomato sauce, kidney beans, and brown sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chili thickens and the liquid reduces slightly, 35 to 40 minutes. The chili tastes better the longer you let the flavors mingle.
