1 sm. can mushrooms
2 lg. onions
2 tbsp. bacon drippings or cooking oil
1/2 lb. hamburger
1 can tomato soup plus 1 can water
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Garlic juice or clove of garlic

Cut or chop coarsely the green pepper and onions; saute in the fat until a good brown. Add hamburger, breaking up in pieces, and the mushrooms; cook until meat is brown and vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add tomato soup, water and tomato sauce. Cook on low fire, about 2-3 hours, until thick, stirring to prevent sticking. Add chili powder and garlic juice just before removing from heat. If garlic juice is not available, split a clove of garlic and cook in sauce 5 minutes, then remove.
