Chili

Everyone needs a chili recipe. I have tried a lot of different ways to make chili and this is the easiest and best one. You can buy all the beans and do it the hard way but with a large family, work, and life in general easy is always nice to have. This recipe can be made in a crock pot but I have very bad luck with crock pots so mine hardly sees the light of day.

• 4 hamburger patties
•  2 (30.5 oz.) cans brooks chili mix
•  8 oz. can tomato sauce
•  1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes 
• 1/2 cup green pepper, diced 1/2 cup onion, diced 
•  1/2 cup celery, diced
•  1 tablespoon chili powder
•  2 teaspoons cumin
•  2 teaspoons onion powder
•  1 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1 teaspoon salt
•  1/2 teaspoon pepper 
•  1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Brown the hamburgers then cut each patty into 16 pieces. Add everything to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook about 2 hours stirring often so the bottom doesn't burn.
