Chili

You asked for chili so I'm givin' you more. There's no science here. Just dump in what you have. The key is the V8. I make lots of this and freeze it in ziploc bags. I eat it for lunch all winter long. Just think of all those veggies you're getting from the V8 :-)

chili

Brown:
1 lb ground beef
6 garlic cloves (or a couple spoonfuls of the jarred stuff)
1/2 onion chopped (or several shakes of onion powder)

Drain the fat off the beef and add:

3 cans of drained and rinsed beans (I usually use a combo of kidney and black beans)
1 46 oz can V8 juice
3 rounded Tablespoons chili powder (give or take)

Simmer at least 30 minutes OR.....put it in your crock pot on low for a few hours.
