This is one of those recipes that comes from my brain and not a recipe card. And lots of taste tests. A couple of notes:
4
1. I have found that Lawry's chili seasoning gives the best overall taste. Plus, that's just the way my grandma made it!
5
2. I use anywhere from one to two pounds of meat and adjust the ingredients accordingly.
6
3. I often use nearly 1 and 1/2 packets of chili seasoning, especially if the meat portion is on the heavy side.
7
4. I often use some of the stewed tomato juice and chili bean juice to help add flavor.
