Lisa and Bill's Chili



This is is my in-laws chili recipe that they got from a restaurant in Minneapolis that went out of buisness called Sargent Pepper's.  They make a big pot of it every October and have a big bon fire with friends.  It is quite tasty.  And also pretty spicy.  I tend decrease the amount of chili flakes and pepper, so feel free to tailor it to your taste.

Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 2 green bell peppers, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 5 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, diced
  • 3 16oz cans of diced tomatoes, drained
  • 4 16oz cans kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can pumpkin 
  • 2 cups frozen corn
  • 1 bottle Heinz chili sauce
  • 1 48oz bottle V-8 juice
  • 12oz flat beer
  • dash Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dill weed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • cayenne to taste
  • black pepper to taste
Saute celery, onion, bell peppers, and jalapeños in olive oil in a large pot on medium heat.  Add ground beef until brown.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Simmer for one hour.
