Chunky Chili

There is nothing better on a cold fall/winter day than a warm bowl of soup. This chili is seriously the best! I love the sweet flavor and all the veggies.  I made it for our Ward party the other day and had at least 5 people ask for the recipe, so here it is. 

*from the Whitmores
2 lbs. ground beef or turkey
1 onion- chopped
4-5 sticks celery- chopped
1 chopped green pepper (I add a red pepper too)
1 (16 oz.) can tomato sauce
2 (16 oz) cans diced tomatos
2 (15 oz) cans chili beans-not drained
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. chile powder
1 bay leaf

Brown meat and onions in large stock pot, drain fat. Add all other ingredients and simmer at least one hour. Makes a ton, but freezes and saves well. I usually use leftovers to make taco salads, yummy!
