Georgia Chili

I have tried many chili recipes, trying to find one that suits our family's taste. This is it! I found this in my 1970 southern living cookbook. My family doesn't like spicey chili, so i only add 2 teaspoons of chili powder. I have noted my other changes in the ingredients. I leave out the shortening to cut the fat and we aren't big on a lot of celery in our food, so i cut it down to one stalk. This is the only chili that i make now. Prep time is approximate. Servings are generous, so you may be able to serve more than six with this recipe. I freeze leftovers.

Steps

Season ground beef with salt and pepper to taste.
Brown beef and onion , mixed with 1 tablespoon chili powder , in the shortening.
Add tomato juice , celery , green pepper , and remaining 2 tablespoons chili powder.
Simmer slowly for 45 minutes , or until vegetables are tender.
Add tomatoes and simmer 15 minutes longer.
Then add kidney beans and simmer a few minutes more or until beans are tender.
