From Mom's friend Sylvia. It actually calls for two pounds of beef (thus, two by four), but Sylvia only uses one, and I found it sufficient. I put this in the crockpot on warm on a busy afternoon, and had dinner waiting for me. I served it with a salad and tortillas. This is greater than the sum of its parts; I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. DH told me this is the best thing to ever come out of that crockpot!
Ingredients:
1 lb chopped beef, browned and drained
2 cans minestrone soup (campbell's size)
2 (15 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes, one should be with jalapeno
2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans
chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Throw everything into a pot and heat gently.
2. Gets better the second day.
