MILD & MEATY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan or pot, brown ground beef with onion; drain. (While the beef is browning, chop veggies, etc.)
• Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT kidney beans, to the ground beef and onion.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low.
• Cover and simmer for about 90 minutes. (stir occasionally to avoid any chili sticking on the bottom of the pot.).
• Stir in undrained kidney beans and simmer until heated through (about 15 minutes).
• **For a smoother chili (my preference) I pour the 28oz. can of tomatoes into my "ultmate chopper" (mini food processor) and blend em up. I also chop the onions and peppers quite small. This minimizes chunks which makes it more "kid-friendly.".
