Chili Con Carne

One pint tomatoes, strained after boiling thoroughly, so pulp will go through strainer; 1 pint red kidney beans, cooked; 1 teaspoonful salt, 1 tablespoonful chili powder. Set these ingredients aside until meat is prepared: 1 pound round steak, ground and fried in tablespoonful of butter until well done (15 or 20 minutes), 1 tablespoonful of onions, chopped in with meat and cooked. (Same amount of cold meat may be used, ground coarsely.) Add above ingredients to the meat and cook slowly, so as not to scorch, for about 20 minutes.

N. B.: A pint of cooked rice may be used instead of beans. This is a good cold day luncheon dish. Serve with toast and tea. Recipe serve six people.
