BB's Chili

From:  Bumblebee
Ingredients:
1 lb
1 med
1 can
1 can
2 - 2 1/2 tsp
1/2 tsp
2
 
1 can
 
ground beef
onion, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
tomato sauce
chili powder (per pound of ground beef)
cumin (per pound of ground beef)
bay leaves
water
Rotel tomatoes with chile peppers (extra hot) - optional
beans (at least 3 kinds)
Procedure:
  1. Brown lean ground beef and chopped onions.
  2. Drain off any fat.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, bay leaves, and some water.
  4. If you like a "kick" to your chili (and we do!), add one can of Rotel tomatoes with chile peppers, the "extra hot."
  5. Simmer all that for at least an hour.
  6. Add beans -- any kind you like, but at least 3 kinds -- chili beans, kidney beans (dark or light), pintos.
  7. Simmer for another 30 minutes or so.
Then.....this is the secret....we don’t eat it for at least a day, after all the flavors have had a chance to "marry."
It is one of our favorite cool weather meals.
This recipe is not exact, for I never make it exactly the same way!!
