Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 whole Onion, Diced
2 pounds Ground Beef
1 Tablespoon Salt
4 Tablespoons Better Than Bouillon Chili Base
1 jar Homade Brand Chili Sauce 12 Oz. Jar (similar Would Be Heinz)
2 cans V8 5.5 Oz Cans
1 can Kidney Beans, Drained 14.5 Oz Can
1 can Cannelli Beans, Drained 14.5 Oz Can
1 can Diced Tomatoes With Juice 14.5 Oz Can
1 cup Water (as Needed)

Directions

1

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or any heavy bottomed pot. Brown onions. Then add ground beef and salt. Brown the beef. When beef is cooked through add the chili base and stir it through. Let it cook a minute before adding the jar of chili sauce. Mix. Add 2 of the small cans of V8. Stir. Add drained beans. I actually use whatever canned beans I have on hand. Add 1 can diced tomatoes. I like Muir Glen canned tomato products - the flavor is really fresh. Add some water if it seems a little thick and just heat through. Done!

This is not a very spicy chili at all because I have small children. If you like your heat all you'd have to do would be to add some extra chili powder or dried red pepper flakes.
