Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (29 ounce) can kidney beans (with liquid)
1 (29 ounce) can pinto beans (with liquid)
1 cup diced green chilis (2 chilis, i use the small can of green chilis)
1/4 cup diced celery (1 stalk)
3 medium tomatoes, chopped (i use one can diced tomato)
2 teaspoons cumin powder
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups water
Directions:
1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain off fat.
2. Using a fork, crumble the beef into pea size pieces.
3. In a large pot, combine the beef plus all remaining ingredients, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring every so often, for 2-3 hours.
4. For spicier chili, add 1/2 teaspoons more black pepper. For much spicier chili, add 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and a tablespoon cayenne. (We like it hot, so I added 5-6 jalepeno peppers.
5. Leftovers can be frozen for several months.
