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!

I've had my eye on this recipe for weeks and we finally tried it today. It is AWESOME!!!! Thanks for sharing! I've always wanted to try making chili, but didn't want to make a so-so chili, so when I saw you post this, I knew it was going to be the one I'd try to make first. :) We both really loved it! The perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Mmmm, mmmm! :)
