Hubby's Chili recipe:

2 lbs hamburger (Turkey or Venison)
3 large cans tomatoes
2 small cans tomato paste
1 large can mushrooms
2 cans light kidney beans
1/2 - 2/3 can cream style corn
1 cup diced Onion
1/2 cup each: diced, Carrots, Green Pepper, Celery
1 medium potato, finely diced
1/2 stick margarine

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

Find a big ole pot; wash out cobwebs. Build a fire or use the stove, if you live indoors. Boil the tater first in a little water; add the rest of the veggies when the water cooks down. Wait till them veggies boil and put in margarine so nothing sticks. Then add meat and all the spice; every 20 minutes you stir it up twice. Simmer it slow, hot stuff burns if you cook it too fast. Let it bubble about three hours then cut the flame out. Serve with crackers, corn or tortilla chips and keep something cool to drink handy. Invite all your friends, a pot will feed about 10; one bowl for most and some of them again.
