Kay...that sounds a lot like my mom's recipe...
Her's is:
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 medium onion finely chopped
1 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatos
1 can of tomato paste
2/3 to 1 can of water (use the can from the tomato paste)
1 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
2-3 tbsp. chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
2-3 bay leaves
pinch of oregano
2 large (19 oz each) cans of kidney beans
Brown beef (drain fat), brown onion, add salt, pepper and other spices, add all tomato ingredients including water...simmer 1hr- 1.5hrs.
Add beans and cook one more hour...make sure to stir occasionally, b/c beans can stick to bottom of pan.
Optional: Can add shredded cheddar, sour cream, bread and butter, tortillas, or whatever else you like...and enjoy!!
