Servings: persons

1 pound Ground Beef
1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
3 cans Kidney Beans (15-ounce Cans), Drained And Rinsed
2 cans Tomato Soup, 10 Ounce Cans
1 can Tomato Sauce (28-ounce Can)
4 dashes Hot Sauce
2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1/4 Tablespoons Crushed Red Pepper
1/2 Tablespoons Salt
1/4 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
1/4 teaspoons Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
10 ounces, fluid Water (you Will Add This With The Tomato Soup))
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/3 cups Water (to Mix With Flour For The Dumplings)

1
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
2
While the ground beef is browning add the beans, tomato soup, tomato sauce, hot sauce and seasonings into a large stockpot over medium-low heat.
3
When the ground beef is browned, drain away the excess liquid and add the meat into the stockpot.
4
Turn the heat to medium-high and heat until the mixture begins to gently bubble. You can add up to 10 ounces of water, a little at a time, if you think the mixture is too thick. Cook like this for a few minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
5
Add the flour into a medium bowl, and slowly stir in the 1/3 cup of water to form your dumplings. You want the mixture to come together, but to be dry.
6
Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dumplings and add them into the chili.Cook for another 10-15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, as needed.
7
Serve hot with your favorite garnishes.
