1 lb ground beef (this is optional, because it tastes just as good without the meat) (optional)
1 (32 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon salt (less if you do not serve it with macaroni)
Garnishings
sour cream
chopped yellow onion
grated cheddar cheese
jalapeno

directions

Brown beef in extra large sauce pan. This is an optional step because I have made this both with or without the meat and it's great both ways.
Add the 6 cans of ingredients.
Add chili powder and salt to taste.
Cook till it just starts to boil and it's heated through.
I serve with elbow macaroni and top with sour cream, chopped onions, cheddar cheese and possibly some jalapenos nacho slices.

My Husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. It was fast and easy to prepare and tasted delicious ! The only change I will make next time is lower the salt. A tablespoon was a bit much for us, other than that I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you for the recipe.

Hi.. I'm Theresa...and I'm a SAHM in Chicago with three girls. And ALL three girls have very different tastes. I have one who won't eat simple foods like french fries, cheese pizza, mashed potato, corn dogs, etc. BUT she likes elaborate salads, feta cheese, veggie stuffed pizza, hot sauce on everything (especially things she doesn't like so she can eat them) Shrimp, spicy mexican dishes, etc. anything that you would never imagine a kids liking! AND my other two (the older and the youngest) only eat the basics and it's like pulling teeth to try something new. Spaghetti, child mac, meat loaf, mac and cheese, beef brisket sandwiches, grilled steak or cheeseburgers, beef stew, cream cheese chicken, beef stew or chicken parmesan. That is about all I can make to appease everyone. (I have started ordering from Market Day at our school, and some of the preparred meals like tortilla crushed tilapia is actually a favorite here..so that is a big help) I really like this website and have found some spectacular recipies that have become a part of my regular routine!
