Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 (29oz) tomato juice
  • 1 (15oz) can tomato puree
  • 1 (15oz) can red kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained
  • 1½ cups medium-large onion, chopped
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ¼ cup diced green bell pepper
  • ⅛ cup chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions
  1. Brown the ground beef and drain the fat. Put the beef and all of the ingredients in a 6-quart pot. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. Top with your faves if you wish (I love sour cream and cheddar cheese).
