Homemade Chili

According to Matt, this was the best pot of chili I every made and I'd have to agree.  I used tomatoes, bell peppers and jalapenos from our garden, topped with cheese and sour cream ... it was so yummy.  Unfortunatly I can't remember exactly how much of the ingredients I used, so this is my best estimation.

1.5 lb. ground beef
1 Ortega taco seasoning packet
8 medium tomatoes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
3 large garlic cloves, minced
4 small jalapanos, minced - remove seeds for less heat
1 tbp oil
1 -15oz can white beans (navy beans)
1 -15oz can black beans
1-2 tsp ancho chili powder or to taste
1 tsp smoked paprika or to taste
dash or two of cumin
salt and pepper to taste

1. Brown the ground beef and add taco seasoning according to package directions. Set aside.
2. Saute onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapanos in oil. Set aside.
3. Peel tomatoes.  In same pot used for sauteing, mash tomatoes with potatoe masher. Add S&P to taste and let cook down, approx 10 minutes or so.
4. Add onion mixture and beef to tomatoes. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
5. Drain beans and add to mixture. 
6. Give it a taste and add remaining spices, let simmer 10 minutes then give another taste and add more spices if needed.

Toppings:  diced onion, sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese.
