In a large pot, brown ground beef.

Drain.

In a separate pan, saute' vegetables in oil and seasonings.

When vegetables are tender and onion is translucent, blend in with beef.

Add canned items and allow to simmer at least 1 hour.

*For hotter chili with a Southwestern twist, add a few tablespoons of diced jalapeño peppers during the simmering process.*
