A big hit on Monday night, here is my recipe by special request! Since this recipe is from my own head, its not as precise as the recipes I find online :)

Beef Chili
Serves 3-4 (This is what I'll make for Justin and I, with leftovers)

Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lbs ground beef
1 large or 2 medium onions, diced
1-2 bell peppers, diced (I will usually by the tri-color pre-cut peppers from the store)
2-3 stalks celery, sliced
1 potato, diced
Garlic, minced
Seasonings: Garlic powder, black pepper, salt, oregano
1 jar tomato sauce
1 package McCormick's Chili Seasoning Mix (comes in Mild, Regular, and Hot)
1 can black beans
1 can red kidney beans
1 package frozen corn
Cheddar cheese to top

Directions:
In a large pot, brown meat in about 1 tbsp of olive oil for about 5 minutes, until most pink is gone. Add onions, peppers, celery and potato. Add the following to your liking: minced garlic , garlic powder, black pepper, salt, oregano. Simmer over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Add tomato sauce, seasoning mix, black beans, kidney beans and frozen corn. Mix thoroughly. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Top with cheddar cheese. Enjoy!
