Grandma Jean's Chili

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
large onion, chopped
garlic salt
1 (29-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 small cans tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can S&W kidney beans
1 (29-ounce) can chili beans (or 1 (15-ounce) can of both chili and white beans)
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
bay leaf

Directions:
Cook the ground beef with the onion and garlic salt. Simmer until onions are tender. Then add remaining ingredients and simmer, covered, two hours.

Time: 10 minutes prep, simmer two hours
Servings: I'm not sure, but we usually have enough to freeze half and eat the remaining half for two days. 12 maybe?

Notes:
This is comfort food! A family favorite. Sometimes I add a third can of tomato sauce if it looks too thick. I usually rinse and drain all my beans, but not draining could make it not so thick. Also, I don't usually have time to let it simmer for two hours, but it is still very good. I like it on the spicier side, so I add a lot of chili powder. I also like to use half chili beans half white beans for color and variety. Very easy, filling, and tasty!
