12 lbs ground beef
4 large onions, Chopped
4 medium green peppers, Chopped
1 head celery (about 8 Ribs)
61 ounces canned kidney beans, Rinsed (4 Cans)
56 ounces canned beef broth (4 Cans)
106 ounces tomato puree (1 lg Can)
64 ounces salsa
58 ounces diced tomatoes, Undrained
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons steak sauce
2 tablespoons browning sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 cups water
1 cup chili powder (4.5oz)
1/4 cup dried basil
8 teaspoons cumin, Ground
4 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons salt, Coarse ground
4 teaspoons pepper, Coarse ground
1 large onion, Chopped (topping)
40 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (topping)

1
In a large pot put in all of the ground beef.
2
Then fill with water to cover the beef.
3
Bring the beef to a boil then reduce to a simmer. It is best that you stir it when you fist put it on the heat so the ground beef breaks up.
4
Stir occasionally till all of the meat is cooked. It will take about 35 minutes to brown all of the beef.
5
When the ground beef is simmering, chop the onion, green pepper, and celery. Make sure to stir the beef as you go.
6
When meat is done, use a strainer to drain the meat.
7
Leaving the meat to strain, finish chopping the vegetables.
8
Add the vegetables to your chili pot with the vegetable oil. Sweat the vegetables in the oil till they soften.
9
Once the vegetables are softened then add the ground beef. Then mix them together and turn off the heat.
10
Add the rest of the ingredients to the chili pot with the heat off (I do this because I transport it after this step). Mix all the ingredients together and transport the chili pot to the final location.
11
Then put back on heat. Bring it to a slow simmer (mixing occasionally). Let simmer for around 2 hours and serve.
