Dad's Chili

I am not normally a huge chili fan, but I absolutely LOVE Dad's chili. A lot of our friends and family love it as well. The slight problem is that he doesn't measure hardly anything (a sign of a REAL chef, right? LOL) Anyway, my sister-in-law asked him for his chili recipe once and he decided to give her the recipe in rhyme (he loves to write poetry.) He gave me permission to post his "recipe" here - hope you enjoy!

Well you take some ground beef, about three pounds worth,
And you put it in a pan and you cook it 'til it's brown.
You drain off all the fat and return the meat to the pan,
And add some tomato juice; one small can to the pound.

Stir it all up and add the specified spices,
And use your judgment, 'cause here there ain't no measure.
Put in some garlic salt and cumin and onion powder,
And Mexene chili powder, all in quantities to your pleasure.

Then comes the Worcestershire, and the Tabasco sauce,
If you desire, use some beef broth; just one can will do the trick.
Now comes the pinto beans, about two cans, and then the salt,
And those are all the ingredients that go into this mix.

Use medium high heat and bring this all to a boil,
Then cut the temperature down and let it simmer real slow.
When your bunch gets hungry and won't wait another minute,
Just holler, "Soup's on!", then stand back and watch it go!
