Servings: 18 - 20 cups! (freezes well)
Preparation Time: 0.75 hours
Ingredients:
2 lb. Ground Beef
1 Lg. Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Lg. Green Bell Pepper, chopped
½ lb. Carrots, peeled and cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
2 – 14 oz. cans Diced Tomatoes
2 – 15 ½ oz. cans Red Kidney Beans, drained & rinsed
2 – 15 ½ oz. cans Black Beans, drained & rinsed
1 – 15 ½ oz. can Black Eyed Peas, drained & rinsed
1 – 16 oz. bag Frozen Corn
2 c water
2 Envelopes Old El Paso Low Sodium Taco Seasoning
¼ t ground red pepper (cayenne)
Hot Sauce to taste (Cholula or Dave's Hurtin Habenero are good)
Cooking Instructions:
- In a large pot at medium heat, brown Beef, Onion, Pepper, Carrots, Garlic, separating the beef and stirring frequently to prevent burning and insure thorough cooking. Drain fat. (It’s easiest to use a colander, but then you have to clean the colander and whatever you drain into)
- Add remaining ingredients, stir well.
- Over medium/medium-high heat, bring to boil, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once chili is boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve with Cornbread or Tortilla Chips, Sour Cream, shredded Cheddar Cheese, and a Green Salad. Yum!

Notes:
If you want to spice it up, I recommend Cholula Mexican hot sauce or for the really spicy, Dave's Hurtin' Habenero hot sauce.
