KID-PLEASING CHILI

8 serving (or enough chili for 2 recipes, 4 1/3 each)

2 lbs ground beef

2 cans (15 to 16 oz each) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

2 cans (10 ¾ oz each) condensed tomato soup

2 soup cans water

2 tbsp instant minced onion

4 to 6 tsp chili powder

 

Cook beef in 4-quart Dutch oven over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown; drain.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Heat to boiling, reduce heat.  Cover and simmer 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
