Mexican Dinner

This recipe is from my old HomeEc Teacher Mrs. Winifred Blackwood.  The recipe is in an old community cookbook that my mother used all the time.  Mrs. Blackwood was a good HomeEc teacher and she probably taught most of the women in Hominy to cook and run a home. 

Chili:  makes 8 servings

2 lb. ground beef

1 lb. 12 oz. can tomatoes or juice

2 (15oz.) cans kidney beans

1 envelope chili seasoning mix

Salad:

small head lettuce

2 tomatoes

Cheese:

grate or use Parmesan cheese

Brown 2 lbs. ground beef in a large skillet or heavy saucepan.  Add  can tomatoes or juice to the browned ground beef, envelope of chili seasoning mix and 2 cans kidney beans (drained).  Let simmer 30 minutes.  Serve chili over taco flavor tortilla chips and lettuce and tomatoe salad.  Top with cheese.
