Recipe Instructions

Heat large pot over medium heat. Add oil immediately, followed by the onions, green pepper and celery with leaves; cook 5 minutes. Add any additional cooked leftover vegetables, peeled and squished tomatoes, diced tomatoes and all remaining ingredients.

Bring chili to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot with any number of condiments or alone. (Cooked spaghetti noodles or rice, cheddar cheese, sour cream, jalapeno peppers, etc.) I think a heavy moist cornbread is a must!
