Here is how you make Joanie's chili:

I just use one pot for this.Brown the meat in the pot and drain grease.Add onions and cook til translucent.Add all other ingredients and cook as long as you want; the longer you cook it, the better it gets, IMHO! You might need to add water if it gets too thick, or cook it down if it's too watery.I serve it with a little Trader Joe's extra-sharp Celtic cheddar cheese (also IMHO the ONLY lowfat cheese worth eating) and a little reduced-fat sour cream on top. It's also good reheated and eminently freezable.Serving Size:?Makes 7 two-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 7Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MOSTLYH2O.
