ingredients

2 ¹⁄₂ lbs ground chuck
6 green onions, sliced thinly
1 teaspoon cumin
¹⁄₂ teaspoon mexene chili powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon kosher salt
16 ounces fresh salsa (I use Chuck & Dave's Original)
15 ounces tomato sauce
12 ounces v 8 vegetable juice
15 ounces diced tomatoes
1 ³⁄₄ ounces french's chili-o seasoning (Original packet is spicy enough for us)
15 ounces light kidney beans
15 ounces dark red kidney beans

directions

Brown ground chuck in large soup pan along with green onions, cumin and Mexene.
Add garlic, black pepper and salt. Let cook another 5 minutes on low heat.
Add salsa, tomato sauce, V-8, diced tomatoes, seasoning mix, and light red kidney beans.
Use blender (I use emersion blender) to blend dark red kidney beans (and their juice) until smooth. Stir into chili.
Simmer over low heat for 1 hour or more.
NOTE: I like to chop up about half of the ground beef quite finely during the browning process, and leave the other half in chunks larger than the beans.
