This is my Grandma's Chili recipe...with a few of my own additions and adapted for my son who is allergic to beef!
I usually make a double or triple batch in a huge pot and then freeze containers to pull out quickly. And I have discovered that margarine containers are the perfect one bowl size if you fill them up and freeze the chili in them.
Grandma's Chili
1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (or beef)
1 large onion (chop in processor)
1 1/2 green peppers (chop in processor)
2 TBSP flour
1 large tin of canned tomatoes (I use frozen)
8 oz tomato sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar
2 15 oz cans of dark red kidney beans
1 can of mushrooms
Use large soup pot. Add turkey in onion and brown lightly. Sprinkle with flour and mix lightly. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper, garlic powder, 2 1/2 cups of water. Add remaining ingredients and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
