I make two batches of this chili for our Open House just before Christmas every year. This is the recipe for one batch:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
1 1\/2 lb (750 g)<\/td>\nGround beef, medium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nRed bell pepper<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\nGreen peppers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\nOnion, large (5-6 in diameter)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\nCelery stalks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
8 oz (227 g)<\/td>\nMushrooms, sliced<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 bud<\/td>\nGarlic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4 cans<\/td>\nKidney beans<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2 cans<\/td>\nGround tomatoes, large<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
1 can<\/td>\nDiced tomatoes, large<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/td>\nCanola or olive oil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
 <\/td>\nChili powder, salt, pepper, cayenne, oregano, basil, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, dried chives, roast garlic powder, ground habanero pepper, etc., to taste<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  1. Chop the onions and peppers into bite-size pieces (1\/2 -3\/4 in long). Slice the celery stalks into thin slices. Peel the garlic cloves and chop.<\/li>\n
  2. Saut\u00c3\u00a9 the peppers in a large frying pan with liberal quantities of canola or olive oil, until tender.<\/li>\n
  3. While saut\u00c3\u00a9ing, empty the cans of tomatoes into a large pot and heat over low heat.<\/li>\n
  4. Add the saut\u00c3\u00a9ed peppers to the tomatoes.<\/li>\n
  5. One after the other, saut\u00c3\u00a9 the celery, sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and the chopped garlic in oil, and add to the tomatoes.<\/li>\n
  6. Drain the kidney beans and add to the large pot. Stir frequently to prevent burning.<\/li>\n
  7. Season to taste.<\/li>\n
  8. (Optional) remove a portion into a microwaveable dish, for vegetarians.<\/li>\n
  9. Fry the ground beef until nicely browned, seasoning liberally. Add to the pot and adjust seasonings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
