Great tasting chili that doesn't take all day, but tastes like it did. Preparation time is about 2 hours. Best served over johnny cakes or corn chips.
Ingredients:
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
4 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons banana pepper juice
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 pounds ground beef
8 slices american cheese
Directions:
1. Place the tomatoes in a large pot and squash them with your hands. Add the beans, onion, banana chile pepper, sugar, garlic powder and chili powder and simmer for about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a separate large skillet over medium high heat, saute the ground beef for 5 to 10 minutes, or until browned and crumbly. Drain the fat and add the beef to the simmering pot. Stir in the cheese, if desired. Allow to simmer for 1 more hour.
