1
In a large pot or skillet over medium high heat, use a wooden spoon to brown and break up your ground meat.
2
When the meat is browned, drain any liquid/grease off of the meat. Return the pan to the heat and add the olive oil.
3
Next add the celery and onion and stir to combine. Allow to cook for about 3 minutes until they just start to soften.
4
Add in the diced tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno peppers, and tomato juice. Stir to combine.
5
Add in the cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano and salt and give the pot a big stir. Allow it to simmer on medium heat for about 10 minutes.
6
Rinse and drain your canned beans. Add the rinsed beans to the pot and give it a good stir. Allow the chili to simmer another 10 minutes to warm the beans.
7
After the 10 minutes, check the celery to verify it's done. It should be tender and this will be your signal that the chili is done.
8
Top with diced onion and shredded cheese and serve with warm cornbread. Tastes even better the next day!
