Directions:
Cook ground beef, onions, green pepper, celery and garlic in a large pot until meat is browned. No need to drain. Stir in undrained tomatoes and remaining ingredients except kidney beans. Simmer uncovered for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans and cook another 30 minutes.

Personal Notes:
Careful on the jalapenos. The recipe actually calls for 6 or 7, but I think that's way too many. Also seed them before chopping to reduce the heat.
