Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onion
1 lb. ground beef
1 (No. 2 1/2) can tomatoes (3 1/2 c.)
2 (No. 300) cans kidney beans (3 c.)
1 to 2 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 to 1 tsp. salt

Preparation

Peel the onion.
Chop into small pieces and set aside.
Brown the ground beef over low heat approximately 5 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, cook the meat and onion together for about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and kidney beans.
Season with salt and the chili powder and stir well (one tablespoon of chili powder gives you a mild chili flavor.
Add more chili powder if you like \"hot\" chili).
Simmer the mixture about 20 minutes.
Low or medium-low heat will keep the temperature about right.
Serve the chili piping hot.
