Storm Day Easy Chili


So it's been snowing here ....
AGAIN !
They actually called this one a blizzard ....
The kind where if you leave your house then you are CRAZY kinda blizzard !
The kind of day you need to make some comfort chili :)
This is the easiest chili recipe ever!
My former pastor's wife WENDY was sweet enough to share this with me. 
It seems like I've been making it once a week this winter.
The secret is making enough so you have leftovers for a few days.
I make a double batch, so if you don't want a lot cut this recipe by half.
First throw some hamburger in a frying pan.
The amount is totally up to you. Some people love lots of meat and others can do without !
Cut up 2 onions, 3 green peppers and you can use red peppers if you want, but I didn't have any today ..
And remember snow storm !! So not going to the grocery store anytime soon!
Brown your hamburger, then add your peppers and onions.
Then get your biggest pot and dump in :
2 cans of tomato soup
2 cans of mushrooms ( drain first )
2 large cans of diced tomatoes
2 large cans of red kidney beans
In the meantime, try not to look out the window at the freezing winter wonderland ....
Then throw in your cooked hamburger, peppers & onions.
Add salt & pepper to taste and depending on how hot you like it :
1-2 tbsp of chili powder ....
Mix it all together and let it simmer for hours ...
Since you won't be going anywhere .....
Enjoy :)
