I like to play in the kitchen. Sometimes, putting together a complicated project is an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. But, it doesn't always have to be hard.
I've been cooking this chili for fifty years and I still like it. It is an easy, kid-friendly recipe that my brother and I learned at an early age. It was a way for us to help out and get dinner started.
Recipe #28 Red Chili
1 pound hamburger
1 can chili beans
1 can tomatoes
1 chopped onion
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 beef bouillon cube
pinch red pepper flakes
salt & pepper

Add 1 can of beans and one can of tomatoes. Kuner's Chili Beans are a Colorado product that uses pinto beans. There are several other brand of chili beans to chose from. I used Mexican style stewed tomatoes, but whole, diced, or crushed are equally good.
Add about 1 cup of water. How much water added will determine the thickness of the final dinner. Add the remaining spices. Bouillon cubes have a lot if salt, so don't add too much additional salt. Simmer for 30-60 minutes.
Serve with a bit of cheese on top. Add a warm tortilla or saltine crackers on the side.

FTA--[This is especially helpful for younger kids who lack knife skills.]
I must be fortunate as my kids obtained knife skills at a very young age.
Similar to my chili concoction except the cumin. Your mixture calls for a LOT of it.
