Instructions

1. In a large pot, cook the beef , onion, pepper and celery over medium heat until meat is browned and vegetables are just tender; drain.
Stir in the beans and remaining ingredients,except for additional onions and cheddar cheese.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat; simmer uncovered, for 30 minutes or until chili reaches desired thickness. We like our chili thick but not super thick so 45 minutes usually is enough time.
Ladle into serving bowls; garnish with chopped onion, sour cream and cheddar cheese, if desired.
