Red Bean Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (No. 300) cans Bush's Best red beans
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 to 2 Tbsp. chili powder (or more)
2 (15 oz.) cans tomatoes
1 tsp. salt

Preparation

In a large saucepan, cook beef until it loses red color, but does not brown.
Add onion, garlic and chili powder; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes.
Add tomatoes which have been mashed, red beans, salt, sugar, vinegar and water. Simmer 30 minutes or longer.
This can be a quick meal, but flavor improves if there is time to cook the chili slowly for an hour or so.
