This recipe I got from my sister-in-law, Laurie Sherratt. She got it from her Grandmother. We had it when we stayed with them one time and fell in love with it.
Nani's Chili
2 cups dry beans (I use 1 cup red and 1 cup pinto)
6 cups water
2 cans tomatos - blended
1 1/2 lbs hamburger - browned (I sometimes use ground chicken-which I like better)
1 bell pepper - chopped
1/4 cup onion flakes or 1/2 cup diced onion
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/4 tsp season salt
1 T. parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp. Chinese chili paste
Rinse dry beans. Pour hot water over beans and cook on low till tender. Add all ingredients and let simmer for an hour. Enjoy!
