MOM'S HOOSIER CHILI



Mom's Hoosier Chili image

Generations of Hoosier schoolchildren have grown up with this mild chili, which stars Indiana's spectacular home-grown, home-canned tomatoes (including listed brands) rather than fatty beef or sweaty spice. Hot peppers are not native to this snowy state and many residents are still wary of hotness, though tastes are changing; adjust heat to your preference. This economical country dish, extended with pasta to feed however many show up for supper, is an update of my mother's recipe. Even adults who deny this concoction has any claim to the vaunted name of chili love it as a hearty soup-and laughingly argue about what "real chili" is, as they lick their bowls clean like Hoosiers.

This is my Mom's recipe. In Indiana we put pasta in our chili. Some call it chili soup. Good with crackers broken up in it or shredded cheese. You can freeze this also.
