South Dakota chili recipe. Written by Helene, a cool lady who used to look in on my grandma Ann. It was when the family came to grandma's house in Huron after the sad day of her passing that we found a big pot of this soup on the stove. It was very comforting and delicious. I still make a version of it now and then. The only thing missing from the recipe is a soup can or so of water.
My take on it is this..
Brown a pound of burger with finely chopped onion
add a 28 oz can of tomatoes
1 can chicken broth
1 can tomato soup
2 cans beans of your choice
more water, should be a little soupy
1 or 2 Tbsp chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
paprika, garlic, cumin, oregano, if you like
finally, it should be a little sweet and tangy, add a tiny bit of sugar or catsup, or chili sauce, even a spoonful of juice from a jar of pickled peppers to adjust the flavor if it seems flat tasting.
