Red Suit Chili

-6 lbs ground meat browned and drained
-16 oz can tomato sauce
-12 oz V8 juice
-3 TBL Chili Powder (Kathleens called for 1/2 cup for 3 lbs, so spice to your own taste - me? I'm chicken, 3 TBL was enough, might go to 4)
-at least 1/2 - 1 tsp of the following, but I just dumped into the mix: dried chopped onion, garlic powder, oregeno (didn't have any, used basil), paprika, cumin
-enough water to make it juicy (matter of preference)

Simmer together for at least 1/2 hour (the longer the better). Serve with salsa and or guacamole.
