I have never used tomato sauce or paste in my chili. I use diced tomatoes and sometimes a little canned tomato juice.

I always use V8 instead of tomato sauce.

1.5 lb ground beef, lean

2 cans chili beans

1 can black or red beans

1 can petite diced tomatoes

2 cans V8

French's Chili-O

Onion

Pepper

Dash of Tobasco sauce.

Brown beef, put in strainer to drain. Sear onions a little, just until they begin to soften. Add tomatoes and 1 V8. Stir in 1/2 to 1 packet of French's Chili-O (I use 1/2 and save the other half for next time but I know people who prefer the whole pack). Add beef and the other two cans of beans and second V8. Add 1 tsp pepper and dash of Tobasco. Simmer. You can add more V8 if it's too thick. Let it cool and it'll thicken even more.

You can add other kinds of beans or spices as you like.

Calmin, your recipe is very similar to mine. I use V8 instead of tomato juice if I have V8 on hand. I don't drain the meat. After the chili has simmered a while, I add 1/2 can of beer and simmer a few more minutes. That is the only thing I put alcohol in when I cook. The chili is great without it but it is even better with beer in it.

Just asking???? Do you not have problems with tomatoes, or tomato paste.....Just tomato sauce???? I do have several recipes for chili sauce for your traditional hot dogs, that do not contain tomato sauce that are very good...........

I personally do not use V8, as the celery influence in it turns me away, but I do know of some that use it...and I have used Mr & Mrs T bold and spicy bloody mary mix, and I drink it all on it's own all the time.........

The only kind of tomato that doesn't bother me is the tomato itself. Once it becomes paste, sauce or even V8 the heartburn begins. I used to love making Chile, but now I have to avoid it. Ive never heard of an alternative, but am hopeful there is something out there.

This tastes like regular chili, but might be a little thicker. You could probably just replace the tomato sauce with plain pumpkin in any other chili recipe too.

Pumpkin Chili

1 medium onion chopped
1.5 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 can (14.5oz) lower sodium chicken broth
1 can (15oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 to 1.25# lean ground turkey cooked
1 can (15oz) plain pumpkin
1 can (10oz) Rotel tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried cilantro
3 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

1.Saute onion and garlic in oil til tender.
2.Transfer to 5 qt slow cooker.
3.Stir in remaining ingredients.
4.Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.

Can also be cooked on the stove.

I hear ya on the celery I love cilantro, which many people detest, but I absolutely can't bear celery in any form.

You can also make a white chili. Tasteofhome.com has a couple that I've tried and enjoyed.

Can you cook the tomatoes and eat them OK? You could puree a few Roma tomatoes and add them at the end of cooking time. I did this for the kids when they were small because they did not like 'chunks' of stuff in their food. Did it for onions and peppers also. They liked the flavors just not 'chunks' in anything.

Maybe it is the additives and not just the tomatoes in the canned products.

I also was going to suggest a white chili. I made a delicious white chili with chicken that was from Taste of Home.

This got me thinking that I would look for a recipe using tomatillos. I'm unable to eat tomatoes in any form, as my gut doth protest. This has be really interested in checking tomatillos out. Think I'll check Food Network and Bobby Flay for a chile.

Add onion and garlic cook 2 more minutes
Turn heat to med- low and spices to meat and brown for another 1 minute
Add flour and broth to meat mix, making sure to scrape up all the stuff and the bottom of the pan. Let cook on low until the meat is tender about 3 hours
Enjoy with cheese, sour cream, or other toppings you like.

Tex-Mex Chili

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
21/2 pounds cubed beef chuck
