 A wise man once said that after the age of 18 or so the world's best pizza is from the greasy spoon pizzeria that you went to growing up.  Everything, no matter how artisanal is measured by those sweet memories of youth.

For me, that;s really not true, I have grown to love and appreciate a different style of pizza from my youth.  But I can say that there is nothing like this warm comfort food that I have known for years.

Any and all chili's are measured and found wanting by this recipe... At least to me.

Here's what I do...

Exquisite Bohemian Chili 

 
2 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes (any flavor, drained)
2 cans of chili beans or kidney beans (drain and rinse kidney beans)
3 Tbsp chili powder (or to taste) 

Serve HOT and Enjoy!

Brown hamburger and onion. Add remainder of ingredients and simmer. I use a crock pot for 3-4 hours. 

** If it is too thick, I add Chicken Stock, if it is too soupy, I add tomato paste.

Yes, it has beans and i know that real Chili freaks go crazy when they see beans in chili.  Live with it.

And yes, ground meat instead of steak cubes (same Chili freaks want steak cubes).  Live with that too.
