Best Chili Ever

• 1 pound Beef, Chopped (chuck Steak) Or Hamburger Can Be Used As A Substitute
• 1/2 cups Diced Onion
• 16 ounces, weight Canned Red Beans
• 16 ounces, weight Refried Beans
• 8 ounces, fluid Canned Tomato Sauce
• 16 ounces, weight Canned Diced Tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Chopped Hot Red Pepper (this Can Be Left Out If Desired)
• 3 Tablespoons Chili Powder
• 1/8 teaspoons Black Pepper
• 1/2 teaspoons Salt
• 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Molasses
• 1/2 cups Water

1. Brown beef (or hamburger) with onions in a Dutch oven; pour off fat. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cover and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.
2. If you prefer to cook this in a slow cooker, brown the beef and onion then mix all ingredients in the slow cooker (I prefer calling it a crock pot) and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
3. This can be made vegetarian-style by not including the beef and using vegetarian refried beans. Delicious!
4. Note: if 3 tablespoons of chili powder is just too hot, then reduce it to 1 tablespoon.
