3 lbs hamburger (I got the kind ground for chili--kind of chunky)
1 onion, chopped (I used 2 TBS dehydrated onion flakes)
2 cans crushed tomatoes, 28 oz each
3 TBS chili powder
6 tsp salt
6 tsp sugar
6 stalks celery, chopped (about 2 cups)
Brown hamburger with onion (or onion flakes). Drain. Put into cooking pot. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for 1 hour.
This freezes well. You can add sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, etc for topping, if desired.
