Home Made Chili

Dad's recipe for chili. Not really sure if its his recipe or my grandma's but either way its delish, and simple too! I couldn't wait to make it now that its getting really cold outside, and its another great meal to make for the week. Brown ground beef, add onions and garlic, cook a bit, add tomato sauce and red kidney beans, cook a bit, add green pepper, salt, pepper and chili powder, cook covered on low heat for 1 hour, check and season as needed, cook for 1 more hour. I recommend not eating it the same day that its made, its much better the next day. This time when I made it though I didn't have tomato sauce, I accidently bought tomato paste. My other grandma said it should be fine, she uses paste in hers. However, she uses one small can, I had one regular can. So I'm thinkin, half a can. Then I realize it calls for two cans sauce, so maybe one can paste? I used about the whole can and a can and a half to two cans of water. Its really tomatoee which I like but I think its a little too much so maybe only 3/4th of a can of paste if that's the route you choose. I did taste it while cooking and it seemed fine but it must have changed when it sat in the fridge. Note made. Seven days of chili, here I come, body better get ready for it!
