2 lbs - Sirloin Beef - Stew meat

2 - 8 oz. cans - Tomato Sauce
2 - 8 oz. cans - Picante Tomato Sauce
1 lg. White Onion
2 Pkts. Chili seasoning
1 - tsp. chili powder

1. In a large frying pan, brown the ground beef and remove the liquid. Place the ingredients in a large crock pot.

2. Cut the sirloin stew beef into chunks approximately 1/2" in size. Brown the cut beef in the same large frying pan, removing the liquid before putting in the crock pot.

3. Cut the onion into larger pieces and place in the crock pot.

4. Pour the kidney beans, regular tomato sauce, picante tomato sauce and chili seasoning into the crock pot. Mix all the ingredients well with a wooden spoon.

5. Add additional chili powder to raise the "kick" of the flavor!

6. Turn on the crock pot to "HIGH" for about 4 hours. Reduce to "LOW" for another 2 - 4 hours.

7. Serve in bowls with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream and additional chopped onions.

NOTE
Thick and chunky chili that will be great for days after the initial preparation. Have lotsa water or other beverage handy if you "kick" up the heat! Guaranteed to keep you warm on those cold New England days!
