Easy Chili

Ok, let me say this right away. This is not my mother's chili. It's certainly not gourmet, or even authentic chili. This is easy chili that you can make in about 15 minutes, and the kids will eat without picking out half the ingredients. It's also very tasty! If you have children that are not afraid of chunks of tomatoes, peppers and other goodies, feel free to throw them in.

I believe in cooking with what I have on hand and what my family will eat. Everyone that knows me says that I never make anything the same way, twice. That is partly because I don't measure ingredients (unless I'm baking, of course) and I tend to experiment. This is also an easy recipe that the kids can make.
