Homemade Chili

A camping recipe from David. This is almost how my mom made chili when I was growing up. The only difference with this recipe is that I can no longer get Frank's Chili Powder, which used cinnamon, so I add some to the pot along with my chili powder. This recipe can be ready to eat in an hour, but its better if you can let it simmer for a couple.

Prep Time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 15-ounce can kidney beans
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 1 green pepper chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups water

Preparation:

Brown the ground beef in a Dutch oven, and then set aside to drain grease. Brown the chopped onion and green pepper next. Combine all ingredients (except the beans) and bring to a simmer. Add the kidney beans and continue simmering for one hour, stirring occasionally. Serve hot with crackers and grated cheese.
