KITTENCAL'S CHILI SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook the ground beef with green bell peppers, onions, garlic, celery and jalapeno peppers stirring with a wooden spoon until beef is no longer pink; drain.
• Add in the chili powder, cumin and beef bouillon powder; cook stirring with wooden spoon for another 5 minutes, or until the ground beef is well browned.
• Add in tomatoes with juice, beans with juice, crushed tomatoes and taco sauce; cook uncovered over low heat breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon for about 1-1/2-2 hours, season with lots of salt and black pepper (you can really simmer this for as long as you want to over low heat until as thick as you like, just make certain to simmer it uncovered, the longer you cook the chili the richer and thicker it will be!).
• Divide the cooked pasta in bowls, then ladle the chili mixture on top, then sprinkle with grated cheese.
• Delicious!
