Chili Soup

This is Mike's mom's chili soup recipe, with some modifications by us of course :)

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can Brooks Chili Beans (I use hot)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can beer
chili powder to taste
uncooked spaghetti (about the size of a quarter)

Brown beef and drain.  In large saucepan, combine all ingredients and simmer at least 1 hour.   About 1/2 way through, add the spaghetti and cook until tender. Serve with corn muffins.
You can make this in a crock pot and simmer several hours (or all day).  I usually double this recipe because it makes great lunch portions and freezes well (two pounds of beef and large cans of the rest of the ingredients)
Our friend Megan's advice on a great pot of chili: use beer, and simmer all day.
