This is my chili recipe:

Chili
5 1/2 lbs hamburger browned and drained
2 large cans diced tomatoes
1 small can diced tomatoes
1 26 1/2 oz can Traditional Spaghetti Sauce
1 can cream style corn
1 can light kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 large can sliced mushrooms
3 medium carrots diced
3 celery stalks diced
2 medium onions diced
1 green pepper diced
1 medium potato cooked and mashed (can substitute 3 TB instant mash potatoes)
1/2 stick margarine (can substitute 4 TB squeeze butter)
1 TB hot sauce

Seasonings:
5 TB Chili Powder
4 cloves garlic (can substitute1 1/2 TB Garlic Powder)
1 TB Italian Seasoning
2 TB Oregano
1 TB Paprika
1 ts Red Pepper
2 TB Salt
2 TB Black Pepper
3 TB Horseradish
4 TB Ketchup
2 TB Mustard
3 Bay Leaves

In a big pot add all canned items, diced vegetables, mash potato, margarine, hot sauce and stir. Then add all seasonings and stir. Last add hamburger and stir, mixing everything very good. Bring to boil then simmer for about 3 hours stirring every 20 minutes. Serve it up with crackers, tortilla chips or corn chips. Also great on hot dogs and hamburgers. Can freeze leftover chili for later.

*For those that like very, very hot, flaming chili just add more red pepper, black pepper and/or hot sauce.
