Instructions

0/3 Instructions

Step 1 Have all the ingredients chopped and ready.
Step 2 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, dutch oven, or large saucepan. Over high heat, add the onions, celery, green peppers, carrots, garlic, mushrooms, spices, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3 Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, uncovered. If the chili becomes too thick, add additional tomato sauce to suit.

Notes

Turn this chili into a full meal by serving it with cornbread or other kind of bread, and green salad, and perhaps some beer.
