Instructions: Combine meat & tomato juice. Mash together. Add remaining ingredients. (The onion should be peeled and placed in the pott-remove when chili is finished.) Bring to a boil-reduce to simmer-1 1/2 hours. Remove the 5 bay leaves

Serve this over a hotdog with grated cheese for a cheese coney-onions and mustard are optional. Serve this by itself for chili, over spaghetti, for a chili spaghet, or top that with cheese for a 3-way, add onions to that for a 4-way, add beans to that for a 5-way.

*It is important to use the whole onion and remove it. It is only used as flavoring. This is a good recipe for kids because most hate onions. If you love onions on your chili, make it a 4 way, or just put chopped onions on your chili. We rate our chili parlors by how wonderful sweet the onions are. My health food store told me that Skyline is beginning to add tvp in place of a little of the meat. That is a super healthy way to eat, because you are still getting your taste of meat and getting some cancer fighting soy at the same time. (Of course that is optional.) You wont believe a little can of this (the size of Campbells little soup can) sells for around $1.50
