Steps

Sequence	Step

1	In skillet, begin to brown ground beef. Add 3 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
2	Add chopped onion and mushrooms to skilet with cooking ground beef.
3	Once the ground beef in fully browned and the onions cooked you will want to drain the meat mixture. Then add to a large stock pot or slow cooker depending on how you wish to cook your chili.
4	Add additional ingredients: Tomatoe juice, diced tomatoes, Chili beans, Light Red Kidney Beans (drained
5	Cooking on stove top: Simmer covered for 1 hr, stiring occoasionally.
6	Cooking in slow cooker: cook on low for 8 hrs, stiring occosionally. I prefer this cooking method because chili is always better the longer it cooks.
7	I serve with choice of toppings: chopped onions, shredded cheese, sour cream, crackers
8	For those who like pasta in their chili, you can add pasta towards the end of the stove-top cooking. Or you can make your pasta seperately and serve the chili on top of the pasta.
