The ingredients for Best Chili Ever! are:

1 lb 93% lean ground beef

3 large green peppers chopped (I like it chopped in big pieces- I love green peppers!)

2 jalapeños (or more if you like it spicy)

1 medium onion, chopped

1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Canned diced tomatoes (I use two smaller cans of Dei Fratelli (or something like that) Mexican style diced tomatoes and two of the big cans of the regular diced tomatoes, same brand)

4 cans black beans

a lot of cilantro

3 limes

some olive oil

some cayenne pepper and some chili powder

Here is how you make Best Chili Ever!:

First, put the olive oil in a large pot, heat it, and then brown the onions and garlic in it (to cook the onions and flavor the oil). Next throw some cayenne pepper and chili powder in to flavor the onions and oil. Then brown the meat in the onion/oil/spicy mix until fully cooked. Then put in the green peppers and jalapeños to soften them a bit (but not too much!) Then throw in the cans of tomatoes and beans (make sure you add the juicy stuff from both the tomatoes AND the beans… that’s where the juice comes from!) and stir it all up. Then put in the cilantro (my philosophy, the more the better!) and stir it up. Then squeeze all the lime juice you can into the pot… chunks of lime falling in are a good thing! Then stir it up again, and lower the heat and let it simmer a while, then serve when you’re ready! It makes enough for an army, or you can keep it for a while and you have meals for a week!
