GRANDMA'S "MAKE IT STRETCH" CHILI

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven,brown ground beef until well cooked.
• Drain any extra fat or water from meat.
• On a medium-low temperature, add tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili beans, seasoning packets, and water to pot.
• Mix well, and continue to cook on medium low for a minimum of one hour, covered, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
• In the meantime, peel potatoes and cut into "bite size" pieces.
• Place potatoes in large dutch oven and cover with water, and add salt to taste.
• Cook on high heat and boil potatoes (about 7 minutes once they come to a boil) just until they will break in half with a fork stuck into them. You don't want to over cook them because they will be mushy when you put them into the chili, and they will cook a bit after you put them in the chili.
• Drain potatoes well.
• Add potatoes to chili.
• Mix well and continue to cook over LOW heat for an additional 30 minutes.
• Stir frequently to avoid burning on bottom.
• Serve whenever you are ready with bread and butter or "Snowflake Rolls" as my family does by the dozen!
