How to Make Grandpa's No Nonsense Chili
- Heat vegetable oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add ground beef and ground turkey; season with salt and pepper. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in chopped celery and green bell pepper; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chili powder, cayenne pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Add crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, ketchup, and tomato juice.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor will be!
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving. Enjoy!
