NOT THICK, BUT NOT TOO THIN, GOOD OLD ORIGINAL CHILI

Steps:

• Chop all of the onions, peppers, and celery and defrost the beef.
• In a deep bowl, squash the whole tomatoes until they are coarse, but still retain their chunkiness and set them aside for use later.
• In a separate pan, place the beef.
• Cook the beef until it is at a medium--medium-well.
• Drain all of the fat out of the meat pan.
• In the desired soup pot, cook the chopped peppers, onions, and celery.
• Add the meat to the vegetables.
• Add the chili powder and cumin to the meat and vegetables.
• Cook until all of the ingredients have been covered with the chili powder and cumin, or until they take on a red color.
• Add the previously squashed tomatoes to the soup pot.
• Mix well, then add the beans and all of their juice.
• Finally, add the tomato juice.
• Bring to a boil, and then simmer for about 2 hours (this could be less time, if desired, but keep in mind the longer the simmer, the better the taste).
• Serve, but be careful because it's extremely hot!
