Chili con Carne

@FeChefi like your procedure of baking the beef.  I might try that except cook in the CSO on BakeSteam so it stays nice and moist.

Just make sure you cook it to medium so you dont end up with really greasy chili ( unless you like that ) Also, make sure you tear apart by hand. If you cut it with a knife it just doesn't look great.

@SLB@blue_dolphin-- and anyone else who's interested -- I've copied my recipe into Recipe Gullet here: Chili Con Carne for Two.

Grew up eating this chili. My late step father always made it. It's a recipe from the 50's, but i think at some point it might have been on a can of tomato soup my step father got it from, or possibly his mother had the original recipe card.Anyway, I just made a batch, followed the recipe. Not sure if my taste buds have changed over the decade's but i feel like its missing something. Maybe its the crackers. ( i always added saltines ) Its still cooling down.

It looks just like the original!  Did you also use the condensed soup or normal tinned tomato soup?

Not sujre of your location but here in US I have never seen anyanythging other than the condensed style popularized and beloved by many by Campbells. I personally use tomato paste whn I do chili in the generic style.

Yep. There are a number of producers who make a ready-to-eat soup including cream of tomato.
