1 pound Ground Beef
1/2 cups Onion, Diced
1/2 cups Green Pepper, Diced
1 can (10 Oz. Size) Ro-Tel
2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Kidney Beans, Drained And Rinsed

1 cup Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
1 cup Sour Cream

1
Crumble beef into a Dutch oven. Add onion and green pepper and cook over medium-high heat until meat is cooked through. At this point, I always drain the beef and wipe out the pan simply to cut out some fat. This is optional.
2
Add in the Ro-Tel, kidney beans, chili seasoning. Stir to combine. Slowly add in the tomato juice. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer on low heat at least 4 hours, up to 8 hours.
3
Ladle into soup crocks, topped with green onions, cheddar cheese, sour cream, crackers or other toppings as you desire.

Cassie's notes:
5
Make this chili a little healthier by using ground turkey or ground chicken in the place of ground beef. Or skip the meat altogether and double the beans for a thick and hearty vegetarian chili!
