Chili-roni


     After I made this Hunt's Chili-roni, I went right out and bought the ingredients to keep on hand in case of an emergency.  A great power outage recipe, nothing requires refrigeration.  It's pretty tasty for a canned ingredient chili, the fire roasted tomatoes give it a hint of freshness and if you add the toppings you'll be going back for seconds.  Saute some chopped bell pepper and onion before adding the rest of the ingredients to give it more of a made from scratch flavor.  I substituted with black beans but use any two cans of your favorite variety.  In my well oiled 10 inch dutch oven, the chili simmered for 30 minutes with 10 coals in a ring around the base of the oven with 18 briquettes on the lid, it's camping keeper and surprisingly good.
