Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a medium size pot, brown ground beef and onion together. Drain any grease well.
  2. Add chili powder, brown sugar, red cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic, vinegar, Tabasco sauce (if using), V-8 juice, tomatoes, and the JUICE ONLY from the can of kidney beans. Simmer over low heat until cooked down, about an hour or so.
  3. Quickly stir in cornmeal to thicken (if you stir it in too slowly, the cornmeal will clump up and you'll have little yellow floaters in the chili).
  4. Stir in kidney beans and simmer 30 minutes.
  5. Top servings with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, if desired.
  6. Note: You can make this as mild or as spicy as you like by adjusting the amounts of chili powder and tabasco. Like most tomato-based sauces, this tastes even better the next day!
