This is a recipe that a friend of mine gave me. It's a nice comfort food for a cold winter's night. I use Bush's Chili Magic chili beans for the extra flavor. If you can't find Bush's Chili Magic and instead use a can of regular chili beans, you might have to add some extra chili powder to season.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef

1 medium onion

3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans condensed minestrone soup

14 1/2 ounces stewed tomatoes

10 ounces rotel tomatoes & chilies

16 ounces chili beans (i use bush's chili magic)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

Directions:

1. Finely chop the onion.
2. Brown the ground beef and the onion together.
3. Drain the ground beef/onion mixture on a paper towel.
4. Chop the stewed tomatoes in a food processor.
5. option: you can add the Rotel to the stewed tomatoes in the processor if you would like for the Rotel to be a finer consistency.
6. In a large pot simmer everything together for at least 15 minutes.
