Dad's Thick Chili

My Dad died when I was 18.  I don't think I ever appreciated what a great cook he was.  Like most things in his life, he was passionate about it.  I remember him sautéing  up pounds, yes POUNDs, of onions and garlic in butter.  Permeated the whole house!  Here is his recipe for "Thick Chili."

Dad's Thick Chili

3 cans kidney beans (including liquid)
1 small can tomato sauce
1 small can tomato paste
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 cup chopped onions
1 lb ground beef, browned and crumbled
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp flour
3 Tbsp water

Brown meat in large soup pot.  Add all ingredients, except flour and water.  Mix together flour and water and stir into chili.  Cover and simmer on low 1 hour.
