Tennessee Pride Country Chili for the Super Bowl

Another fine recipe attained from the coupon section of the Sunday paper. The fact that I have been a loyal supporter of Tennessee Pride for years only made me look at the recipe closer. If a grocery story has Tennessee Pride in the cooler then I have it in my shopping cart.

1 lb. Sausage (mild or hot)
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes, including juice, chopped*
2 ( 16 oz) cans red kidney beans, drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup water**

* I used 2 16 oz cans of diced tomatoes
** I used V-8 juice

Cook sausage, ground beef, onion, green pepper, and garlic in large soup pot or Dutch oven until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender; drain. Stir in tomatoes, beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, cayenne pepper and water. Cover and simmer about 1 hour. Marks 8 servings.
