Everyone has their own version of chili. Mine is nothing grand, or imaginative or groundbreaking, but it is tasty and fairly good for you.
Ingredients
Directions
1. Cook the meat until about half done

2. Add peppers and onions
3. Cook until peppers and onions start to become soft

4. Add one can of the diced tomatoes (with juice)
5. Simmer for about 5 minutes

6. Place mixture in crock pot (or large pot) and add remaining ingredients

7. Stir well

8. Cook for 2-3 hours if using a crock pot or 1 hour if cooking on the stove top (you can cook this all day on low in a crock pot to have a nice dinner when you get home from work or sledding)
Serve straight up or with tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, sliced green onion or sour cream.
