Southern Chili

 Serves 6 - or more? I would like to make this soon and freeze it for Dad's Christmas Maine Meals on Wheels! (It's our little inside joke and perfect Christmas gift and use of freezer space in the fall).

Ingredients

butter

1 clove garlic, crushed

3 onions, chopped

1 Green pepper, chopped

 1 pound ground beef

 

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 pound pork sausage, NOT links

4 Tablespoons olive oil

Dash Tabasco

Salt and Pepper

1 Quart tomatoes (we assume chopped, diced, crushed?)

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon minced herbs (thyme, sage, etc.)

3 teaspoons chili powder

 

1 can kidney beans

1 cup broad noodles (egg noodles)

Process

1. Melt a little butter and add crushed garlic, onion and pepper, and fry until soft. 

2. Add meat and brown. 

3. Add all other ingredients except beans and noodles and simmer for 1/2 hour or until mixture is blended. 

4. Add beans and noodles and cook 5 minutes (or more - until noodles are cooked. If too thick add a little water). 

5. Serve in soup plates with toasted crackers.
