Gary's 10 Minute Chili


Gary's 10 Minute Chili
2 cans (15.5 ounces) dark red kidney beans, undrained
1 can (14.5 ounces) tomatoes, crushed, diced or chopped, undrained
8 ounces can tomato sauce
6 ounces can tomato paste
1 large onion, medium dice
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
6 ounces water (more for thinner or less for thicker)

Instructions
Brown crumbled ground beef, and onion (adding garlic last so as not to burn).
Add the rest of the ingredients, stirring as you put them in. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Ballpark Caramel Corn
5 quarts popped corn

2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup white corn syrup
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup peanuts, whole or chopped
Instructions
Warm popped corn in slow oven.
Meanwhile heat the sugar over low heat, allowing it to brown but not scorch.
Add syrup, vinegar and water and salt to it. Stir only until sugar is dissolved.
Boil mixture until it forms a hard ball when it is dropped in cold water.
Remove from heat and add soda and peanuts, stirring well. Pour immediately over warm popped corn.
Stir well until all kernels are coated. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally to break up large chunks.
