Ingredients

2 (14 oz.) cans stewed tomatoes
1 can hot water
1 1/2 c. chopped onions

1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
3 lb. lean coarse ground beef

2 c. mashed cooked pinto beans

Preparation

Combine tomatoes and water; bring to boil.
Add onions, pepper, salt and garlic.
Mix well and bring to boil.
Add ground beef (uncooked), stirring constantly.
After coming to good boil, cover and simmer for 90 minutes.

Add 4 1/2 tablespoons chili seasoning (Bobby uses Morton's).
Cover and simmer 60 minutes.
Add 2 cups mashed cooked pinto beans to tighten the chili (an old trick Bobby learned from an army cookbook).
