Budget Friendly Chili!

I made a great chili recipe today for my lunches and since its very budget friendly, about $1 per bowl, I thought I'd share it with you!

Here's what you'll need (keep in mind this makes a huge pot, reduce it as needed)

1.5-2lbs of extra lean ground beef
1 onion, diced
3 peppers, diced
4-5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
4 stalks of celery, sliced
1.5 cups of button mushrooms, sliced
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of black beans
1 can of white beans
1 can of mixed beans
2 cans of stewed tomatoes
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp chipotle powder
salt and pepper to taste

Method:
In a large pot put in 1-2 tbsp of oil, beef, onions, peppers, celery and garlic. Let cook down until beef is fully cooked. Add beans, cans of tomatoes, mushrooms and spices. Let cook down on low for approx 30 mins.
