This turned out pretty good. Fun, single pot, and very simple. I tried to stay true to the recipe, and Tammy said it was good, but somehow not quite what she remembered. Three onions seems like a lot. I used 1-1/2 onions, all that I happened to have. I also only used one pound of ground beef, since that's the size I had. I did use slightly more salt and chili powder. Tammy thought it still needed more. The result was flavorful and had a slight sweetness for such a simple recipe. Also, next time, I'll probably drain at least some of the fat.

Tim's Notes

This turned out pretty good. Fun, single pot, and very simple. I tried to stay true to the recipe, and Tammy said it was good, but somehow not quite what she remembered. Three onions seems like a lot. I used 1-1/2 onions, all that I happened to have. I also only used one pound of ground beef, since that's the size I had. I did use slightly more salt and chili powder. Tammy thought it still needed more. The result was flavorful and had a slight sweetness for such a simple recipe. Also, next time, I'll probably drain at least some of the fat.

  • 1 can (8 oz.) tomato paste
