Spicy Beanless Chili

Submitted by: Kathy Wittig 
My father came up with this recipe when I lived at home. He always added the optional cayenne pepper, and we four kids would mop up the chili with slices of bread. I don't use the cayenne for my family, but it still warms you up on cold days.

This chili always has everyone coming back for seconds--that's because I use fresh tomatoes in the recipe. I've been married 31 years and our two grown children still like to come home to eat 'Mom's cooking'!

No one ever guesses the 'secret ingredient' in this recipe that I created. A can of mushroom soup is what makes the chili so thick and creamy. Take this spicy concoction to a fall potluck or church dinner, and watch folks warm up to it! -Elizabeth Mays, Nunnelly, Tennessee

Packed with beef and spice, this chili is sure to please. Also works with ground turkey, or the meat may be omitted.

'MOM'S CHILI was the best! She knew just the right ingredients to put her 'stamp' on it. I could eat it with my eyes closed and know it was her recipe! It amazed me that she could put it together in so little time.

When Mom came to live with me several years ago, I told her it was now my turn to cook. One goal was to enhance recipes of the great Southwest, so I experimented and test-tried several recipes. This is one of the successful attempts, and served with a fresh green salad, it has delighted many guests. --Bob Wyatt Kansas City, Missouri

'I like to make chili from beans I've soaked overnight, but this speedier version tastes just as good on a frosty winter day,' assure Lucile Proctor of Panguitch, Utah. At 90 cents a serving, the mildly sweet mixture of beef and beans is economical, too.
