Favorite Chili

This is by far my favorite chili recipe!  I took some things I liked from a few of my past recipes and combined it to make the best chili ever!  It's thick and chunky and soothes the soul on a cold day!  
It has just a little kick if you put in a whole jalapeno, but I wouldn't say it's spicy.  If you'd rather not have that extra heat, you could just put in 1 tablespoon jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped. 




1 lb ground beef
2 onions or 1 extra large onion
1 cup green pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped  
1 (10 ounce) can Mexican-style tomatoes (Rotel - Mild Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilis)
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce (or four 8 ounce cans tomato sauce)
1 quart homemade canned tomatoes, or store bought crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 (14 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Toppings - sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese

Cook ground beef with onions and peppers in a large cast iron pot or dutch oven.  Season with salt and pepper.  Drain excess grease and add the rest of the ingredients.  Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 30 - 60 minutes.
