Mom's Chili

It is cold, very cold. And nothing warms like a bowl of chili and a side of cornbread. This was our lunch today:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 pkg. taco seasoning
2  T. brown sugar
2 T. 5% vinegar
1 glass water (or more if you like it more watered down)
1 quart tomato juice (or tomatoes in juice, or crushed tomatoes which is what I used. )
1 onion- diced
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2-3 cans kidney beans- drained.

Method:

• Brown meat, drain of fat if necessary. 
• Add onion and garlic and saute until tender. 
• Put this in pot, add remaining ingredients and simmer for some time so that flavors blend. 
• Serve with grated cheese and cornbread. YUMMY
