Here's the chili recipe I use and it's magnificent!

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1/2 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
1 stalk chopped celery (optional)
chopped garlic or garlic powder or salt
salt and pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
1 clove or a dash of ground clove
1 to 3 tsp chili powder to taste
1 tsp cumin
1 can red kidney beans or leftover cooked dried kidney beans
1 to 2 cans stewed tomatoes
Water as needed

In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the onion and green pepper. When the meat is cooked, drain the grease and add the garlic, chili powder, and other spices to taste. Add the beans and tomatoes and stir well. If you like chili with plenty of juice, add more water and tomatoes if you like. Cover and simmer on low for one to two hours. Right before serving remove the bay leaf.

**Note I make this without the celery and green pepper as they give my other half heartburn. Don't be scared by the thought of clove being added to the chili. It sounds odd but it tastes great! I use this recipe to make thicker chili, also, to use for corn chip pie.
