Schimpff’s Confectionery chili
A party-size recipe for 55 1-cup servings
- 1 large onion
- 5 pounds hamburger
- 5 16-ounce cans Busch’s Best Mild Chili Beans (pinto beans in chili sauce)
- 2 15-ounce cans Hunt’s tomato sauce
- 2 cups Bloemer’s chili powder
- 4 ounces Bloemer’s chili base
- 1 pound spaghetti noodles
- 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
Peel the onion and cut into four pieces. In a food processor, process the onion into pieces that are about 1/8-inch thick. In a large skillet, brown the hamburger with the onion. Drain hamburger; return to pan with all the other ingredients except the spaghetti. Add one gallon of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer. Cook one hour, stirring occasionally.
While the chili is cooking, boil the spaghetti in another pot. Drain spaghetti. Add to the chili. Let simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Salt to taste.
