Ingredients

4 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes (I used organic for this recipe)2 14.5 oz cans chili beans (red beans in chili sauce)1 46 oz bottle V8 Spicy Hot Vegetable Juice1 Lawry's chili seasoning packet1 medium yellow onion, diced2 lb 90% lean ground beef1 lb pork chunks (mine was tenderloin), cut into about 3/4-inch cubesSalt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder to taste

Directions

Cook diced onion until translucent and beginning to brown. While onions are cooking, empty the cans of diced tomatoes, chili beans, the bottle of V8 Spicy Hot, and the packet of chili seasoning mix into a large pot or into your crock pot, begin heating on medium heat. When onions are done, add them to the pot. Brown the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Drain and add to pot. Brown pork chunks, add to pot. Heat chili to near-boiling, then reduce to low/simmer and let simmer for a minimum of 2 hours - if you have 4 hours, that's even better! This will be a more-soupy yet chunky chili. If you can make it the day before an event and refrigerate it overnight, it thickens up very nicely if that's your preference.

Serving Size: A generous recipe, this makes a large pot, or 20 1-cup servings (but, seriously, who eats just one cup?)

I have made this recipe a couple of times. It makes a large quantity so I get plenty of leftovers for additional meals. I did use low sodium and no salt added ingredients as much as possible and got the sodium content down quite a bit. I expected it to be bland but it was still very tasty. Thanks! - 10/16/14

Thanks, Jen! I just added the low-sodium version of this recipe. Had no idea you could cut sodium so dramatically! WooHoo!
