Aunt Verna's Chili Mac image

Super easy to make. Kind of reminds me of Steak n' Shake's Chili Three-Ways. My aunt would make this everytime I went over for sleep overs with my cousins. She knew that this was one of my favorite meals that she would cook.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb hamburger
2 large can tomatoes, crushed
1 large can tomato sauce
1 small onion diced fine
1 green pepper diced
2 can(s) kidney beans
1/2 tsp onion salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
crushed red pepper to your taste
chili powder to your taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet cook hamburger until browned. Drain off any grease.
  • 2. Cut up onion and green pepper.
  • 3. Put kidney beans, tomatoes and sauce in a big pot.
  • 4. Add onion salt, garlic powder, chili powder and crushed red pepper.
  • 5. Then add the hamburger, onion and green pepper mixture to the big pot.
  • 6. Cook until done. I usually put it on medium heat and let the flavors mix together for about an hour. Be sure to stir or it will burn. You can also make this up the night before and put in a crockpot the next day and it will be ready for your evening meal. Goes great with corn bread and honey.
