Granny'S Chili (With Noodles) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground chuck
1/2 large onion
2 (30 ounce) cans chili with beans (Varallo is my favorite)
4 cups water
12 ounces tomato juice
2/3 lb elbow macaroni
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon oregano
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1 bay leaf

Preparation

In a large pot or dutch oven, cook ground chuck. Then, saute onion in the fat.
In a separate pot, boil macaroni according to instructions on box.
Once the onion and ground chuck are cooked, add the cans of Varallo chili, tomato juice, spices, and water. (Here's a tip, just fill both cans 2/3rds of the way up with water -- that should be plenty)
After the macaroni is cooked, dump in into the big pot with the chili and simmer and reduce for around 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
