Renee's "Award Winning" Chili

This Chili won a competition that my daughter Renee entered when she was in Nursing School. I don't know where she got the recipe...but it is delicious! On a cool fall night or a cold winter's day...it hits the spot. The wonderful thing about this recipe is that the longer it sits in the fridge the better it gets.

Ingredients:

1 lb. Ground Beef (her recipe doesn't call for it but I also add 1 lb. mild sausage)
1 Onion (chopped)
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
2 cans Diced Tomatoes
1 can Tomato Sauce
2 cans Chili Beans
4 cups Chicken Stock or Broth (enough to cover ingredients)
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning Mix (she uses Old El Paso)

Directions:

Brown Ground Beef, Sausage, chopped Onion, Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper. Drain. You can do it right in the Chili pot...all the little bits on the bottom of the pan will just make it taste even better.

Add all the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil then simmer for at least 30 minutes...the longer the better. Stir often as it will burn and you don't want that to happen!

Serving Suggestions:

Even better with Crackers, Cornbread or Corn Chips.

WOW! All these start with "C" lol.
