Karl's 1st place Chili

He  started out using an award winning recipe from an old cookbook I brought at a yard-sale.  Then he   proceeded to change every ingredient or amount...and then he added beans!

Here the final recipe.
1 lb. sausage with bacon
2 lbs. Hamburger
1 1/2 onions chopped
Saute together and drain of fat
Add:
1 can beef broth (less sodium)
1 quart vegetable juice (mostly tomato)
2 cans chili beans (Not drained)
2 can red beans (drained)
2 can kidney beans (drained)
8 Tablespoons Chili powder
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp Louisiana hot sauce
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. hickory smoke

Simmer for a couple hours.  Add if too thick more tomato juice .
Flavors improve with a day or two in the refrigerator.
Makes a BIG pot!
