Make Homemade Chili







Here's make chili that will warm your body on a cold winter day and be perfect for chili cheese dogs at a summer cookout.


Instructions


1. Remove ground beef from packaging and place in skillet on top of stove on medium heat. Break the beef up in small chunks with a fork. Add chopped onions and cook until ground beef is browned well. Remove beef and onions from burner. Drain grease from the beef and onions and rinse well.








2. While beef is cooking, pour water in small cooking pot. Allow water to boil and then add pasta. Cook pasta until it is al dente or still slightly firm. Drain pasta.


3. Combine chili beans, chili powder or seasoning, tomato paste, tomato puree and refried beans in a large pot on medium heat and mix well. Add enough water to thin the mixture to your desired consistency.


4. When pasta and ground beef are finished cooking and have both been drained, add them to the large cooking pot and combine the mixture well. Allow chili to come to a boil, reduce heat and simmer approximately 30 minutes or until pasta is tender. Serve with crackers, cheese and any other condiment you desire.
