Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven or Stock Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 6 or 7 small onions chopped or 2 1/2 to 3 cups frozen chopped onions
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 2 large cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 cans kidney beans not drained
  • 2 small cans tomato paste
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • chili peppers to taste I don’t add them, but serve with chili to allow each person to add heat to their liking

Instructions

  • Spray a large stock pot or enameled dutch oven with non-stick cooking spray. Add ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned. Add celery and onion and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the remainder of the ingredients, stir to combine and simmer uncovered on low for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring often to prevent sticking.

Notes

Substitute plant based ground "meat" to make it a vegan friendly recipe.
To make this in the slow cooker, brown beef in a frying pan and then add to a slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese and freshly baked bread.
