 Fat grams    per serving:              Approx. Cook
 Time: 6:00 Heat 1 tbsp oil, add onions, bell peppers
 and celery and cook until transparent. Add beef and
 brown thoroughly, stirring often. Drain off excess
 grease. Add tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, tomato
 paste (to thicken), and two tomato sauce cans water.
 Add chili powder, and stir thoroughly. Add salt,
 pepper, garlic, oregano, and stir. Add chili sauce and
 hot green chili and stir. Simmer on low heat for 5 to
 6 hours. If chili begins to stick, add water, stir
 often. You may cut down cooking time, but, the longer
 you let it simmer, the better the chili will be. Some
 people will tell you if you cook with beans it is not
 chili. For those people I say.....You cook chili your
 way and I'll cook mine my way
 (VBGrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn). If you want to add beans
 to this recipe, do so, I prefer the Sun Vista Pinto
 Beans. Served with homemade bread or French bread and
 salad makes for a complete meal. This recipe will
 serve approximately 20 persons. By Jess Poling
