Robb's Chili

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 14 1/2 ounces tomato sauce, canned
• 14 1/2 ounces kidney beans, canned
• 14 1/2 ounces pinto beans, canned
• 14 1/2 ounces black beans, canned
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 1/4 cup green chilies, diced, canned
• 1/4 cup celery, diced
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped, fresh or canned
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup water

Directions

1. 1

   In a large frying pan, brown the ground beef; stir frequently and break up into crumble-sized pieces. Drain off the fat.

2. 2

   Dump beef and all remaining ingredients into a crockpot (or a large pot) and stir to combine. Cover. Heat on high heat until bubbling; then, reduce heat to low, and stir. Keep heat on low and stir every 30 minutes for 2 to 3 hours. (Optional: if you can safely heat this dish for a total of 8 hours, it will taste its best; but, it will be tasty after only 3 hours of cook time.) Taste, add more seasonings if you desire, stir, and serve.
