The ingredients for Tisa's Texas Chili are:

2 pounds - Ground beef, lean
2 cups diced onion
1 cup chopped bell pepper
28 oz can Crushed tomatoes
10 oz can Rotel tomatoes with Green chilies
14.5 oz can Del Monte diced tomatoes with green pepper and onion
2 cans Bush's Best Pinto Beans
4 cups Water
4 tbsp Chili powder
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Here is how you make Tisa's Texas Chili:

Brown ground beef and drain off fat. Saute onions and bell pepper. Add beef back to pot and add cans of tomatoes and beans.Add chili powder to water and stir and then add to pot. Salt and Pepper to taste.Simmer until you're ready to serve, but for at least 15 minutes.Now, I'm from Texas and our chili is more souplike than let's say a Florida chili... so it's good to know that everything can be adjusted... the thickness can be adjusted by the amount of water added and the smokiness of it can be adjusted by the amount of chili powder. I also know that this is a large "batch" - but I make it this way so that it will last a couple of days. (it's always better the day after.)Okay, I know this is a recipe and not a life story but ~ I think it is wonderful served over rice (brown or white), pasta and my all time favorite Fritos. Topped off with cheese if... well if you please.An average serving size if topping something is about a cup... if you're having it as a soup - probably a good size would be a cup and a half.Number of Servings: 15Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user TISALEE.
