Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

Preparation

In a large pot, brown ground beef, onion and pepper. Drain. Stir in next seven ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a small amount of water if chili becomes too thick. Top each serving with cheese and corn chips, if desired. (*Lynn uses Bush’s chili beans.) Makes 6-8 servings.
