2) Cut up the celery, green peppers and onion.

4) Add the celery, green pepper and onions for a couple minutes.

(Can substitute 1 jar tomato juice for the 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, if you don't want to deal with blending the tomatoes. Gives the chili a more soupy consistency, but still delicious.)
