Grandma’s Chili

"This is a family recipe and one that my mother used to stretch a penny raising 5 children on a moderate salary. Our children and grandchildren now enjoy the recipe. My 93 year old father continues to make it. It is the only food item he makes while living in his home. It is made in a crockpot, that he can monitor and if he forgets about it there is no harm done because eventually the smell lead him into the kitchen. He then enjoys throughout the week."
