Zip and Zest In A Bowl

As promised, I’d like to share my homemade chili recipe. It’s as easy as it is delicious—perfect for a gathering to watch football or as a warm-up for your trick-or-treaters. It’s long been a Lynton family favorite, and I hope it becomes one of yours, too!

Homemade Chili
from the kitchen of Jeanette Lynton
1 onion chopped
1 Tbs. oil
3 lbs. ground beef
2-10 oz. cans Campbell’s French Onion Soup
1-12 oz. can tomato paste
1-15 oz. can tomato sauce
2-27 oz. cans kidney beans with liquid
2-15 oz. cans red beans with liquid
2-½ tsp. chili powder
5 tsp. cumin
1 ½ tsp. ground pepper
Brown chopped onion and ground beef in a large soup pot. Drain. Add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for 30 minutes. Or transfer in a large crock pot and set at low for 2 hours. This is best to bring out the flavors. For a smaller batch, just cut the recipe in half…easy. Serves 10-12

  6. Oh, it's still too warm here in Arizona for chili...but your post the other day made me hungry for it. Maybe I'll sit in front of the open fridge and have a bowl...or two.
    Thanks for sharing this with us!
