Mom's Chili

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 cans dark red kidney beans
2 cans tomato soup
1 large can of tomato juice(1 large can of water)
salt & pepper to taste
onion (diced fine)
macaroni (cooked)

Brown the hamburger along with the onion. Once browned put the hamburger in your soup kettle, with the tomato soup, tomato juice and water. Salt and pepper to taste.

Now my Mom would serve the macaroni separate. So we would scoop as much macaroni in the dish that we wanted, and she would spoon the chili over the top of the macaroni.

I like to add the macaroni right to the chili. (I then only cook the macaroni to about 3/4 done, rinse and drain and add to the chili, it absorbs the juice and makes the chili thicker.

Enjoy
