4th of July Chili

This recipe dates back to at least 1973- when your great-Grandma S. began making and selling chili at the church's booth in the town's celebration festival. Not everyone agrees chili belongs on a 4th of July menu, except for me ... and everyone I'm related to!

1.5# hamburger
1 C. celery
2 T. dry onion
2 T. dry green pepper

Brown together, drain, and add to a large stockpot:

2 qts. stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
5 C. kidney beans
1 pkg. chili seasoning

Bring to boil and add:

2 T. chili powder
3 T. flour
2 tsp. salt
6 T. water

Let simmer several hours.
Serve with shredded cheese, crackers, sour cream, and diced white onions.

Happy Independence Day!
