Ingredients

3 lbs lean ground beef
6 large onions
6 bell peppers (red and green)
3 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes (drained and broken up)
3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
3 teaspoons salt
3 bay leaves
2 1/2 ounces chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste *HOT*)
1 (10 ounce) jar of pitted Spanish olives (drained)

Preparation

Brown beef in large skillet then drain fat.
Chop peppers and onions into\"thumb size\" chunks.
Combine all ingredients into 10 Quart pot.

If you like your chili thinner than this, add beer to thin, not water.
(When serving, we like to garnish with sharp cheddar or sour cream and crackers or cornbread.).
