Chili

2 lbs beef
1 (29oz) can tomato sauce
1 (29oz) can kidney beans (I use 1 15oz can dark beans and 1 15oz can light beans)
1 (29oz) can pinto beans (I use 1 15oz can)
1 c. diced onion
1 small can diced green chilies
2 cans diced tomatoes (I have used regular and chili ready)
1/3 c. diced celery (I'm not sure on the measurement, I just put some in)
3 TBS chili powder (I use a little less)
2-3 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
2 c. water (or more if it seems too thick)

Brown and drain beef. Add all ingredients and simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring every 15-20 minutes. There you have it, the chili that won a blue ribbon at the ward chili cook-off 3 years ago...though I'm not entirely sure that Rob didn't bribe the judges somehow :)
