Entree: Easy Chili & Bread

This chili recipe I finally got from my mom but I think it originates from her mother. And the bread recipe I think comes from a childhood friend of my sister. Enjoy!

Chili:

2 medium yellow onions
1 lb. ground beef (or turkey)
2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 tbsp. chili powder (add more if you like things hot)
1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes with juice
1 28-oz. can chili beans (feel free to use less if you don't care for beans that much)

Cook chopped onions and ground beef until lightly browned, stirring often, over medium heat. Add seasonings and tomatoes with juice and simmer on low for about one hour. Add the chili beans with about 15 minutes remaining and continue to simmer.

Bread:
Loaf of french bread (also really yummy with sourdough bread)
1 bunch of green onions
Parmesan cheese
Mozzarella cheese
Mayonnaise

With this recipe, the quantities come down to the tastes that you like. Chop the green onion and add it to at least 2 tablespoons of mayo in a bowl. Add both cheeses. Spread should be thick. Spread this onto the bread, cut in half and bake on a cookie sheet for approximately 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Once the cheese has melted, broil the bread until your level of "burnt" is reached. Make sure you let this cool before you try to cut it into slices. It will be very HOT! This recipe is very greasy and fattening. But oh, so good!

Enjoy!!

p.s I tried to post a picture but the upload was taking too long.
