Rocker's homemade Chili

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 - 3/4 pounds of ground beef (i use 85/15 for more flavor)
• 1 Green Pepper - Diced
• 1 Large Onion - Diced
• 1 Jalapeno - Seed & Dice or leave seeds in for more heat
• 2 cans Light Red Kidney Beans
• 1 can diced tomatoes w/Jalapeno
• 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
• Olive Oil
• Salt,Pepper,Garlic Powder
• Chili Powder

Preparation:

In a large pot use medium heat, add olive oil, Onions & Peppers.  Add salt and cook for about 5 minutes until soft.

In a large frying pan use medium high heat, add a touch of olive oil and ground beef.  Season with Salt, Pepper, Chili Powder, and garlic powder.  I use a potato masher to mash the ground beef up into a fine consistency.  Once cooked all the way through add to large pot, stir

Add tomatoes & kidney beans to pot. Stir

Add about a tablespoon (more or less depending on your heat level) of hot sauce.  I prefer Cholulu but any will do.

Stir

Simmer for about 2 hours over very low flame
