My wife told a few people about my special chili, which I’ve been making for the family for years. We shared it at a church potluck recently and several people asked for the recipe. To make it easier I’m posting it here so she can just send people here to find it.

4 lbs ground meat, or protein substitute
2 medium onions
1 large green pepper
2 medium stalks of celery
3 cans kidney beans
1 can of black beans
4 cans of chopped stewed tomatoes
2 cans of tomato paste
4 cloves of garlic
3 Tbs. chili powder
4 TBS salt
2 bay leaves

Chop onions, green pepper, celery, & mince garlic.
Brown vegetables, brown meat
Dump in the rest of the stuff and mix it all together
Cover and simmer for 1 to 2 1/2 hours.
