Chili Chili Chili

Heyyyy... So... Is it Summer or Fall?? Because right now it sure feels like fall... I DON'T LIKE IT!! I need my Summer temps to at least stay around till the end of August!! But I guess that gives me an early excuse to make some Chili!! Right!?!? 
Yes, today I was in the mood for some Chili.... And it's been a looonnnggg time since I have found the time to try a new recipe; so today was the perrrrfect day for it!  But, even though I had a recipe I found that I couldn't stick to it... I kinda deviated... Okay, that's a lie... I took a complete U-turn!  So, this is a spin off of a recipe I found on the internet... But really nothing like it! lol Enjoy!

Northern Chili

2 Red Bell Peppers
1 Serrano Pepper
4 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 1/2 cup chopped onion
2 lbs. Lean Ground Beef
3 Cans Great Northern Beans
2 Cans Fire Roasted Tomatoes
20 oz. Tomato Sauce
6 Cloves Garlic (Or 1/8 teaspoon powder per clove)
15oz. Cream of Celery
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons Cumin Powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions:

1. Brown the meat in a skillet.  After browning drain excess fat from skillet.  While the meat is browning, saute onions and peppers until softened.  Combine the meat and veggies into one pot.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the mixture and cook for about 1 hour.
3. Enjoy!

That was easy right??!? Although, the only bad thing about Chili is that it tastes better on the second day usually, so if you have extra time the day before you wish to serve this meal, try making it the day before and refrigerating overnight.  Then you can just re-heat it the following day when you're ready to serve it! 
FYI, this tastes great with cornbread (recipe coming soon)!!
