Is it just me or is it 'chili' in here?

I have never tried my hand at making home made chili before so why not during "chuck week!"
Today's meal idea comes from www.allrecipes.com


Best Ever Chuck Wagon Chili

Ingredients

* 2 pounds ground beef (I ended up using the leftover chuck roast meat, shredded)
* 1 teaspoon butter
* 2 large white onions, chopped
* 2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
* 1 habanero pepper, chopped (I put in a small can of Trader Joes green chilis)
* 3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained
* 3 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
* 1 drop super-hot hot pepper sauce


Directions

1. In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until evenly browned. Drain off grease, and set aside.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions, green pepper and habanero pepper until onions are translucent. Remove from heat. Transfer the onion mixture to the pot with the ground beef, and set the heat to medium.
3. Add the kidney beans and tomato sauce to the beef mixture, and season with chili powder, salt, garlic salt and hot pepper sauce. Bring to a simmer, and adjust seasonings to taste if necessary. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

OR you can do what I did and put it all in a crock pot on low for the entire day! :)

Tip
You can leave the hot sauce out, and add at the end if you are unsure on how spicy you want it.
