Tonight I made some chili and I decided that I would write down the recipe that I used tonight since I measured everything out. I thought it turned out tasting just fine. My wife doesn't like the pasta so feel free to substitute other shapes or leave out completely.
Cooking instructions:
In a large pot brown ground beef and sausage. When the meat is cooked add beans, tomatoes, seasoning, tomato juice and water. Bring to a simmer and add pasta. Cook until pasta is desired tenderness.
