This is a simple easy recipe that can be easily modified to suit your taste
1 1/2 lbs hamburger
1 onion
1 can Rotel (don't drain)
1 large can tomatoes - diced (don't drain)
1 can light kidney beans (don't drain)*
1 can dark kidney beans (don't drain)*
1 can great northern beans (don't drain)*
garlic - fresh or powder
3 bay leaf
chili powder - to taste
oregano - to taste
thyme - to taste
basil - to taste
Cook hamburger with onion. I season with garlic and chili powder. After browned add Rotel, tomatoes, kidney beans and seasoning. Cook for about 1 hour on medium or 2-3 hours on low.
*I like a variety of beans in my chili but you can add which ever ones you like most and if you don't want as many, you can use 2 cans or if you want more, add 4.
Have fun with the seasoning, add whatever ones you like most and to your taste, the ones I mentioned are the ones that I use in mine.
