2lbs- ground chuck or sirloin (can be substituted with chicken or turkey)
½ cup celery chopped fine (optional)
1 cup diced green peppers
1 cup diced red peppers
1 cup diced (or chopped) red onion
2- 15oz cans of Frijoles Nergos (black beans) un-drained
1 to 2- 15oz cans Contadina tomatoe sauce (or brand of choice)
2- 10oz cans Ro-Tel diced tomatoes (original)
2Tsp- cumin
2Tsp- chili powder
1tsp- oregano
1 tsp- crushed red pepper
1tsp- ground red pepper
1tsp- minced garlic
1tsp-salt
Place ground meat in Dutch oven and fill with water until ½-3/4’s full. Cook over med-heat until meat is done and no longer pink. Make sure the meat separates (you don’t want meatballs in this chili). While meat cooks prep veggies and place them together in one bowl- set aside. Drain meat the hard way leaving about ¼ of the water in the pot.
Once water is drained add black beans, tomatoe sauce, and Ro-Tel diced tomatoes, toss in the bowl of veggies but don't stir yet, add seasonings and then stir until everything is mixed together well. Cook over med heat for about 25 minutes, let simmer, and serve. You can top it with shredded cheddar cheese to give it an extra touch from the southwest.
