Rootin' Tootin' Chili

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 1 bell pepper, chopped and seeds removed
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, chopped and seeds removed (optional)
• 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
• 6 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (I use Del Monte Fire Roasted)
• 6 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 6 (14 1/2 ounce) cans red beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 1/4 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 2 cups water

1. Brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Once browned, put in the onions, bell pepper and jalapeno. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and drain grease.
2. Return beef mixture to a large stockpot. Add the remaining ingredients and cover the pot. Simmer on medium-low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
