Chili

This is my favourite chili.  It's my mom's.  It's one of her recipes that I've never altered.

1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
1 big clove of garlic, minced/grated
1/4-1/3 c chili powder
2 tbsp cumin
salt and pepper
red chili flakes
1 big can crushed tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1/2 packet salsa seasoning (I can never find it so have only used it once when my mom put it in my cupboard)

Brown beef; add onion, green pepper, jalapeno, garlic, saute till veggies soft.  Add spices + salsa seasoning.  Add tomatoes, beans.  Simmer for 2-3 hours minimum- stirring occasionally. 

Great with my cornbread recipe.
