Pat'S Guy Chili

• 2 1/2 lbs ground chuck
• 15 ounces diced tomatoes with juice
• 24 ounces spicy vegetable juice, V-8 hot and spicy-type
• 2 tablespoons granulated tomato bouillon with chicken flavor
• 2 large white onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder (or, 1 canned chipotle pepper with sauce)
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 20 ounces water
• 30 ounces hot chili beans, with sauce
• 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon garlic sauce, cajun-type (or, taco sauce)
• 6 ounces canned mushrooms, drained
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons instant minced onion
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

1. In a large cooking pot, brown and drain the fat from the ground chuck.
2. Return the burger to the pot and add all other ingredients except for the beans. Cook at a low boil, uncovered, for one hour. Stir frequently.
3. Add the beans and continue to cook uncovered at a low boil for 20 more minutes. Serve with oyster crackers.
4. NOTE: If you want your chili a little thinner, add canned chicken broth. Also, I love this chili over cooked spaghetti with additional hot sauce at the table. Finally, you'll find the tomato bouillon in the Mexican isle at the grocery store.
