Kittencal'S Chili Spaghetti

• 2 lbs ground beef (you can use more or less ground beef)
• 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 1 large celery rib, finely chopped
• 2 -3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
• 1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (optional)
• 5 -6 tablespoons chili powder (I use lots!)
• 2 tablespoons cumin
• 1 -2 tablespoon beef bouillon powder
• 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
• 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans (undrained or use one can only)
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes or (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 (7 ounce) bottle taco sauce (mild or spicy or use 2 bottles 215-ml Old El Paso spicy)
• salt and pepper
• cooked spaghetti
• grated old cheddar cheese (any amount desired)

1. In a large skillet cook the ground beef with green bell peppers, onions, garlic, celery and jalapeno peppers stirring with a wooden spoon until beef is no longer pink; drain.
2. Add in the chili powder, cumin and beef bouillon powder; cook stirring with wooden spoon for another 5 minutes, or until the ground beef is well browned.
3. Add in tomatoes with juice, beans with juice, crushed tomatoes and taco sauce; cook uncovered over low heat breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon for about 1-1/2-2 hours, season with lots of salt and black pepper (you can really simmer this for as long as you want to over low heat until as thick as you like, just make certain to simmer it uncovered, the longer you cook the chili the richer and thicker it will be!).
4. Divide the cooked pasta in bowls, then ladle the chili mixture on top, then sprinkle with grated cheese.
5. Delicious!
