NEVER-ENTERED-IN-A-CONTEST-BUT-STILL-SUPER-GOOD CHILI

Steps:

• In a skillet, brown meat. Drain and set aside.
• Spray a large (6- or 7-qt.) pot with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, garlic, and celery, and saute briefly.
• Stir in the diced tomatoes and the Rotel.
• Add several shakes of cumin and chili powder (I do it until I can smell them -- you can always add more later), and also the italian seasoning, basil and oregano, if using.
• Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
• Add the beans, browned meat, red pepper flakes, and chili seasoning.
• Partially cover, and simmer for at least 4 hours.
• Serve with shredded cheese and cornbread, if desired.
