I got this recipe from Marilyn Johnston. It was my favorite at the Ward Chili cook off!
Cook together:
2-3 lbs ground beef
1 large onion
9 cloves minced garlic
Then add:
1 quart tomato juice
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 16 oz can diced tomatoes (or more?)
3 16 oz cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 8ox tomato sauce
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp thyme
1-2 tsp chili powder
4 bay leaves
1 tsp salt
1 quart water
Cook for 45-60 minutes.
