A.MAZ.ING. chili!!

so...our dear friend Claudette gave me this recipe-and it's the most amazing chili ever!! Has a sweetness to it that is just dreamy! Enjoy!

Auntie Clod's Homemade Chili:

2lbs of lean ground beef-do not drain
2 T olive oil
1 whole onion (i chopped it up real fine cuz the kids don't like onions)
2 packages of mild chili seasoning
2 T chili powder
2 T of tiger sauce (thailand) (don't worry if you can't find it-i didn't use it and it still tastes amazing!)
Brown the above in a large mixing pot (i actually just browned mine in a large skillet then transfered it into my stock pot-BUT i'm sure her suggestion is just fine too!)

4 cans of dark kidney beans
4 cans of italian style stewed tomatoes
2 bottles of prego (or other) tomato sauce
mix in with the large pot containing the above ingredients

here is the secret ingredient : ) 1/2 cup brown sugar. (sweet and spicy!)
bring to a boil, then turn heat to low and simmer for 1/2 hour.

Enjoy!!! a perfect meal for this gloomy weather! Thanks Auntie Clod!!!
