I used to make this all of the time and then lost the recipe. I finally found after the move to FL while emptying out the gazillion boxes of books.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
10 ounces condensed French onion soup
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, undrained
6 ounces tomato paste
15 ounces tomato sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
6 ounces V8 vegetable juice

Steps:

In a large skillet brown the ground beef.
Break up the pieces into tiny rice like pieces.
Drain well.
Using a blender, process the can of onion soup with 1/2 of the ground beef mixture.
Blend until it looks like cement mortar.
Place beef mixture and remainining ground beef into a large saucepan.
Add chili powder, cumin, black pepper, cocoa powder, cans of kidney beans, tomato paste, tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and V-8 juice.
Bring to boil and then simmer for a least one hour.
I usually make mine in a crock pot on low for 8 hours after browning the beef and blending 1/2 of it in the onion soup.
