During the depression years old railroad diners were salvaged and
used as restaurants. Here is a recipe derived from a diner here in
town. It is my favorite.
1-1/2 lbs hamburger
1 30 1/2 oz Brooks Chili beans
2 medium or 1 large onion chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp red hot pepper flakes
2 Tbs. chili powder
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 15-oz can of diced tomatoes (optional)
4 to 8 z water to thin. (not too much)
Put hamburger in large kettle with a little oil and cook over medium
heat.
Chop hamburger while cooking. Make sure you chop it finely
Cook until pink disappears.
Add balance of ingredients and cook covered for about 1 to 1-1/2
hours.
Can substitute kidney for beans for chili beans if necessary.
