That Restaurant Chili :)
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 (29 ounce) can tomato juice
- 1 (29 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (29 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
- 1 (29 ounce) can pinto beans, drained
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup celery (diced)
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper (diced)
- 1/4 cup chili powder (you may want to use less, as some people find this is too much)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) can green chilies
- 1 (29 ounce) can petite tomatoes
- 4 (15 ounce) cans rotel
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat; drain off fat.
- Using a fork, crumble the beef into pea size pieces.
- 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.
- 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.
- Leftovers can be frozen for several months.
