The ingredients for Amy's Awesome Chili are:

4 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes (I used organic for this recipe)
2 14.5 oz cans chili beans (red beans in chili sauce)
1 46 oz bottle V8 Spicy Hot Vegetable Juice
1 Lawry's chili seasoning packet
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 lb 90% lean ground beef
1 lb pork chunks (mine was tenderloin), cut into about 3/4-inch cubes
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder to taste

Here is how you make Amy's Awesome Chili:

Cook diced onion until translucent and beginning to brown. While onions are cooking, empty the cans of diced tomatoes, chili beans, the bottle of V8 Spicy Hot, and the packet of chili seasoning mix into a large pot or into your crock pot, begin heating on medium heat. When onions are done, add them to the pot. Brown the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Drain and add to pot. Brown pork chunks, add to pot. Heat chili to near-boiling, then reduce to low/simmer and let simmer for a minimum of 2 hours - if you have 4 hours, that's even better! This will be a more-soupy yet chunky chili. If you can make it the day before an event and refrigerate it overnight, it thickens up very nicely if that's your preference.
