Simple Award Winning Chili

By lorik

This recipe was conceived in the grocery store aisle many years ago and was a staple in our family for years. Imagine my surprise when my husband entered it in a chili contest and we took first place!

Ingredients

• For Garnish:
• 1 lb extra lean ground beef
• 1 lb roll of pork breakfast sausage
• 1 onion, chopped (optional)
• 2 packages of Brooks Chili Seasoning
• 1 28 oz can of tomato sauce or diced tomatoes in juice, your choice
• 1 30.5 oz can of Brooks Chili Hot Beans (must be the hot ones, the mild will be too bland)
• If your family likes spicier chili, then buy the 40 oz size can of chili hot beans.
• We like diced onion, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and saltines.
