YUM! What a great recipe! I'm not much of a cook, but love chili. This recipe is easy, fool proof, and quick. I substituted the ground beef with stew meat, and guessed with my refridgerated jar of garlic. I think I went overboard with the garlic... Wonderful chili!
 
Ingredients
2 pounds  lean ground beef
1 large  yellow onion, chopped
1 large  green sweet pepper, chopped
2 cloves  garlic, minced
2 15-ounce cans  chili beans with chili gravy
2 14 1/2-ounce cans  diced tomatoes
3 cups  tomato juice
2 tablespoons  chili powder
1 tablespoon  sugar
2 teaspoons  crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons  ground cumin
1 teaspoon  salt
1 teaspoon  ground black pepper
  Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  Toasted Garlic-Parmesan Bread (see recipe below)

Directions
1. In a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven, cook ground beef, onion, sweet pepper and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender; do not drain. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain fat, if desired.
2. Stir in undrained chili beans, undrained tomatoes, tomato juice, chili powder, sugar, red pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Serve with shredded cheese, if you like, and Toasted Garlic-Parmesan Bread. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Toasted Garlic-Parmesan Bread

Sprinkle with 1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese. Place, spread side up, on a large baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
