Number Of Ingredients 22

SAUTE, DRAIN GREASE:
3 lb lean hamburger
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4-8 fresh jalapenos, diced small (add as many as you like for heat, but add at least 4 for mild for the kiddos. *i usually add all 8 for hotter!)
1 large onion, diced large
salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste (start with about a tsp each salt and garlic powder and a 1/2 tsp pepper; you'll be adding more later)
DUMP INTO CROCK POT OR LARGE STOCK POT AND ADD:
1/3 c good chili powder
1 3/4 c ketchup, I use Heinz
3 Tbsp lemon juice concentrate
1/3 c dark brown sugar, can sub light but I just don't even buy that kind anymore because it always turns into a brick
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, I use Lea & Perrins
2 tsp regular white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp yellow table mustard, French's
1 1/2 Tbsp cumin
3 c spicy hot V8 juice
1 (16 oz.) can(s) dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained first in a colander til no longer foamy/bubbly
2 pkg fresh sliced mushrooms, 8 oz. each
2 can(s) Del Monte original stewed tomatoes, with the juice; crush tomatoes with hands as you add; 14 1/2 oz. each can
1 c beef bouillon, i use superior touch better than bouillon beef base (dissolve 1 tsp. beef base into 1 cup hot water to make 1 cup bouillon)
*more salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

Steps:

1. Saute hamburger, green pepper, red bell pepper, jalapenos in a pan. Add 1 teaspoon (each) of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add 1/2 tsp black pepper.
2. Drain the grease.
3. Into a large stock pot or Crock Pot, add the sauteed hamburger meat. Then add the rest of the ingredients.
4. Stir all and bring just to a low simmer. Reduce heat and cook for at least 1 1/2 hours on low. Stir gently and occasionally. You can do this on the stove or in a large Crock Pot. Either way works.
5. Thick, rich, slightly sweet/slightly hot chili! Very unique! Enjoy!! :D
