3 lbs. of lean hamburger
1 lg. onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 sm. bell pepper, chopped
2 celery stems chopped
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) peeled whole tomatoes
1 (16 oz.) jar of Tabasco 7 spice chili recipe (original or spicy)
2 (8 oz.) cans of tomato sauce

SPICE INGREDIENTS:

4 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
4 drops of Tabasco hot sauce
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 (15 oz.) can ranch style beans

Brown hamburger until no longer pink. Drain excessive fat. Add chopped vegetables, tomatoes, Tabasco 7 spice chili recipe and tomato sauce. I rinse each can with water and add that too. That is approximately 2 1/4 cups of water. Stir the meat and sauces. Now begin adding spices. Stir well after all the spices have been added. Turn heat to medium low. Cook for 2 1/2 hours stirring occasionally. Add beans during last thirty minutes of cooking.
