That's close to how my mom makes "chili", too.

That's about how my Mom used to make it, too. It had some chili powder in it, but mainly just tomato soup with beans and hamburger and bell peppers.

I'm guessin' it's a Midwestern thing.

Yep, chili powder, tomatoes, hamburger... and macaroni noodles. (I don't know why!)
