Lost chili con carne receipe

[djf419]

About 30 years ago I had what I believe was a Pillsbury cookbook that has a section called "Crowd Size Meals". In that section was a receipe for Chili Con Carne. The receipe started out with 4 lbs of ground beef and I think about 10 medium sized onions, chili powder, sugar, etc. I recall living in a frat house and making this chili on a regualr basis. It is a great receipe, but I have lost the cookbook and receipe. Is there anyone that may have this cookbook and receipe? :?:

Hi djf,

Welcome to Discuss Cooking. This is the closest I could find - is it similar??

4 pounds ground beef
8 medium onions, chopped (4 cups)
4 cans (28 ounces each) whole tomatoes, undrained
4 cans (15 to 16 ounces each) kidney beans, drained and liquid reserved
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
(garnish with sour cream, jack cheese, fresh salsa or just fresh cilantro)


1. Cook beef and onions in 8-quart Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown and onions are tender; drain.

2. Stir in tomatoes, bean liquid, tomato sauce, chili powder, sugar and salt, breaking up tomatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 1 1/4 hours.

3. Stir in beans. Simmer uncovered about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency.

Of course I have to garnish my chili with a little sour cream, a little jack cheese, and either a spoonful of homemade salsa or some fresh cilantro.

I guess depending on appetize and what else was being served I'd guess this would serve about 10 - 15 people.

You sure can't ask "where's the beef?" on this one.
If you make it and like it let us know.
How many would this feed?

LOL Dove - it does have a hunk of cow in it doesn't it? I added about how many it would serve - I'm not absolutely sure though. (hope you had a wonderful Sunday!) and GO PANTHERS!!

Actually, since we lost to the Colts, I hope they win it all just so i can say we had a good team but lost to the world champions.
