Karen's Favorite Chili

Karen's favorite chili will soon be yours with all of the peppers, onions, and beef that have been simmered with green chiles and tomatoes.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb extra lean hamburger
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 stalks celery chopped
• 2 Tbls olive oil
• 2 med bell peppers, chopped (or add more if you like)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
• 4-15 oz cans crushed or chopped tomatoes
• 2 beef boullion cubes
• 1-4 oz can of green chiles, chopped
• 1 Tbsp cumin
• 2 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 or 2 cans of pinto beans

Directions:

Cook onions and celery in olive oil until soft. Add hamburger and brown. Drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients except beans. Bring to a boil then simmer for at least 1 hour. The longer you simmer the better it gets. Add beans. You can always adjust seasonings to your liking. I don't think this dish needs any added salt, but you might.
