Momma's Homemade Chili

The chili recipe below,is a recipe that my sister came up with, when she was trying to think of something to fix her family to eat one day. She is not a chili lover but her family loves chili. She loves to cook from scratch and see what she can come up with. One day while looking through her pantry she found some cans of beans, tomatoes, and packages of spices. She took a package of hamburger from the freezer and then the process started.

She just started mixing, and pouring, blending, cutting vegetables, and wala! a pot of Momma's Chili was born. She usually likes to mix and match her recipes to see what develops. Every once in a while when the mood strikes her, she will go see what's in the pantry, and what new dishes she can make. The recipe below is doubled. The numbers in Parentheses ( ) are for the regular recipe amount. Enjoy.
