Blue Ribbon Chili

We usually make a pretty complicated, many ingredient chili recipe. A cold, cold winter day called for chili but not the one with too many ingredients. We found this recipe on All Recipes.Com. we'd definetly use it again for a quick go to chili. It was good & extremely easy & quick to make.

2 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
4 tablespoons chili seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans
1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
(the only thing we added was about 1/2 lb. of hot italian sausage to kick it up a bit)

Directions
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the ground beef and the onion and saute for 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain grease, if desired.

Add the ground black pepper, garlic salt, tomato sauce, salsa, chili seasoning mix and kidney beans. Mix well, reduce heat to low and simmer for at least an hour.

Served with fritos, cheddar cheese & sour cream.
