Onion powder

Salt to taste

Chopped onions

DIRECTIONS:

1.    Brown steak with a little shorting until medium.

2.   Add chili seasoning and cook for 5 minutes.

3.   Add remaining ingredients, except tomato paste.

4.   Taste (if chili is too hot, add 1-2 cans tomatoes)

5.   Add chili paste.

6.   If chili seems too thick, add water.

7.   Simmer on low for 20 minutes.

8.   Serve with soda crackers and soda.

9.   This chili will be better tomorrow than today, if properly taken care of overnight.
