Chili

1lb Ground Beef
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 1 lb can chopped tomatoes
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 1lb can kidney beans, drained
1 tsp salt
2 tsp chili powder
1 bay leaf

In large skillet, cook meat, onion, and green pepper until meat is brown and drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for one hour.
Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream and corn bread.
This makes a thicker chili that is more like the consistency of Taco Soup.
