Ingredients




2 lbs ground beef
2 large green peppers, chopped
1 large onion, diced
3 stalks of celery, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 jars chili sauce (make sure you don't grab cocktail sauce, they are right next to each other)
3 cans diced tomatoes
4 Tbsp fresh parsley
3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 cans red kidney beans (or a variation of your choice)
1 box white rice (cook according to package directions and set aside)
shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

1 In a large dutch oven, brown the meat really well.  (till little brown crusts form)  Drain the fat from the pot. 2 While the meat is browning, saute the green peppers, onion, garlic, and celery.  Cook until tender. 3 Add the veggies to the meat along with the next five ingredients.  (do not add the beans yet) 4 Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for about two hours. 5 About a half hour before you are ready to serve, add the beans and heat through. 6 Serve over the rice and top with the cheddar cheese.  Then just dig in and enjoy!  Happy Chili Cooking!  :)
