Recipe: Damn Good Chili

I was anticipating cooler weather for Cs firetruck party, so I thought chili would be nice to serve along with Frito chips and shredded cheese. Everyone who tried it raved over the great flavor, and a lot of gfs asked for the recipe. It had a little bit of a spicy aftertaste, but was mild enough to appeal to all but the pickiest eaters. Enjoy!

Makes 6-8 servings. 

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1/2 onion, chooped
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic satl
• 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce; I used Rotel brand with green chiles

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and the onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain grease, if desired.
