Tailgate Chili

1. In a large pot, brown the beef over medium heat. Use a spatula to break the meat into small pieces as it cooks. When the meat begins to brown, add the onion, green pepper, and garlic. Continue to cook until the meat is completely brown.
2. Add the chili powder, oregano, cumin, peppers, and salt. Stir. Allow to cook for 2 minutes.
3. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to completely combine.
4. Allow to gently simmer, slightly covered, for 1 hour, stirring often.
5. Serve with your choice of toppings.

Note: If you are making this in the slow cooker, after step 1, add all ingredients to the cooker. Place on low and cook for 6-8 hours. This method will be a little “soupier” than the stovetop method.
