Rootin'-Tootin' No-Fail Chili image

I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit. Serve it alone, on hot dogs, with nacho chips, or top spaghetti with a sprinkling of shredded cheese for a kickin' chili mac!

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained

3/4 cup chili powder

Steps:

  • In a dutch oven, add oil and cook ground beef on medium heat until no longer pink, but not browned.
