Directions:
Brown ground beef
Saute onion and green pepper as meat drains
Add all back to pan and add additional ingredients

I don't measure my spices...I toss in to taste so my measurements are probably more than the above.

I probably put in 5 cans of different kinds of beans in every batch but Jeff and I love beans so you can do as you prefer with the beans. Bush's is definitely our favorite!!

I use a variety of chili powders from Penzey's spice, too.

I combined two recipes from a cookbook I think Mom probably gave me - Better Homes and Gardens Soups and Stews cookbook, 1978.
