I don’t know if I heard from him again.

Grandpas stoplight Chili recipe

ingredients;
2 lbs ground or cubed meat. What ever meat you like.
Beef, pork, venison, buffalo.
1 cup each, red, yellow, and green bell peppers.(hence, stoplight)
1 cup chopped celery.
1 cup chopped onion, white, red, yellow, those purple ones, doesn’t matter.
2 packs chili seasoning mix, your favorite brand.(I use McCormick@)
1 12 oz. can tomato paste.
2 cans diced tomatoes, with the juice, or two to three cups diced garden tomatoes.
3 to 4 to 5 cans kidney beans, dark or light or mixed. (you can also use cooked pinto beans if you don’t care about Global Warming).
2 or 3 cloves garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
(I don’t cook with salt or pepper, but season to taste if you like).

In a lightly oiled pan, start to brown the onion and garlic.
Put in the ground beef or meat and cook. Drain the grease after the hamburger is cooked.
Here you can drain all, half, or none, you are the cook.

In a large cooking pot, mix the paste with 4 cans water for thick, or five cans if wanting a thinner chili.
Mix the chili mix with one cup water per pack and add to pot.
Add the meat and celery and bring to a standing boil.
(when you stir it up and it keeps boiling, that is a standing boil).
Then add the peppers and diced tomatoes and then bring to a standing boil again.
Put the temp on low, (1/4 to 1/8 heat, just enough to keep a low or soft boil with lid on) put on a lid and let simmer for half an hour.
During this half-hour, let the beans drain in a colander.
This is so the bean taste doesn’t overwhelm the chili.
After a half hour, put in the beans, bring to a standing boil once again, lower the temp, replace the lid and let it cook for another half-hour.
Turn it off, remove from heat, and let it stand for about ten to fifteen minutes.
If you want to add hot peppers, add whenever you like, from when you do the onions and garlic, to when you let it steep, or when served.
(I add 1/8 cup jalapeno juice when putting in the meat).

This does make a lot, so have a big enough pot.
(divide ingredients in half for less, obviously).

When served, if you want, top with fritos and/or shredded cheese, any kind. Taco sprinkle cheese is great.
The grandkids love it.

note: make sure to stir often so the tomato paste wont stick to the bottom and burn.
If the kids don’t like onions, cut them big so they can pick them out.
Enjoy
