3 to 4 lb. ground chuck
2 onions, chopped
3 tsp. chili powder per lb. ground chuck
1/2 tsp. cayenne (add more for hotter chili)
1 small can tomato sauce
2 (16 oz.) cans hot chili beans
cracker meal
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Fry meat in skillet until done; drain well.
Put meat, chili powder, cayenne, salt and pepper in large pot.
Fill with water. Boil 3 to 4 hours, adding water when needed.
Add onions.
Cook until tender.
Add tomato sauce; stir well.
Spoon off grease that is floating on top.
Add a little cracker meal for grease you cannot remove.
This helps thicken chili.

The longer the meat and chili powder boil, the better the chili taste.
