LOL Like my mom's version of "chili". It didn't make me scream but it was
absolutely bland and boring. Tomato soup with ground beef & kidney beans.
At some point she started adding some McCormick's (mild) chili seasoning. I
think people raised in Ohio in the 1930's and 40's had an ingrained fear of
spices
