Chili

 

Saute in large skillet and then drain well:

bullet

1 pound ground meat (I use 1 1/2 pounds)

bullet

1 large onion, chopped

bullet

1 bell pepper, chopped

bullet

1 cup chopped celery

Add above mixture in 6 quart pan along with:

bullet

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

bullet

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

bullet

1 large can kidney or chili beans, undrained

bullet

1 teaspoon sugar

bullet

1 tablespoon chili powder

bullet

1 teaspoon black pepper

bullet

Salt to taste

bullet

2 cups of water, or more

Simmer gently at least one hour but more if you have time. The longer it cooks the better it is.

I serve it topped with grated cheddar cheese.

NOTE: I got this recipe years ago from a friend in Eustis. It is Michael's favorite chili recipe (as well as my children's) so I don't fix any other one. The recipe calls for one pound of meat, but we like more. It also calls for two onions and a half of green pepper, but I just use one large onion and one whole pepper. And I try and cook it at least two hours. It is very spicy, so if you don't like things too spicy, cut back on the chili powder and black pepper.
