1
In large pot or dutch oven:
2
Brown the meat with some of the chili powder and spices. Then remove meat from pot, reserving the fat and oil to the extent possible. If using lean meat, add enough oil so the meat doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
3
Then add the following and fry in the meat's oil, adding enough butter to supplement: corn till browning, then add celery and green and red peppers, then add onions and garlic and fry till all are soft.
4
Then add beans.
5
Then add tomatoes and tomato paste. Add water if not enough fluid.
6
Once warmed up, add barbecue sauce, chili powder and spices to taste.
7
Then simmer below bubbling for at least one hour partially covered, stirring occasionally.
8
(Don't store the soup in the dutch oven, to prevent rusting).

(You can also use a crock pot, by first browning the meat, and then placing all of the ingredients into a crockpot (meat on top), and then cooking according to normal crock pot times.)
