AL'S BIG BATCH CHILI

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in a skillet, drain fat off.
• In a 5 quart pot, saute onion, celery, and green pepper until tender.
• Add ground beef back in pot and add tomatoes with puree. Add water.
• Add seasonings chili pepper and garlic power, onion power, salt and pepper.
• Cook 2 hours until heated though.
• Add mushrooms and kidney beans the last 30 minutes of cooking and heat though. Serve.
• Notes: You can add hot peppers to the chili if you want to, he does. You can also add crushed tomatoes without puree, it will be more like a soup. My husband just uses crushed tomatoes with juice. This above is more thicker but still good.
