Chili today, hot tamale

We plan out our menu for the week on the weekend. It is easy now to have a game plan for dinner and to have all the ingredients on hand.
Today I made chili. It's very easy, delicious and it makes a lot.

Chili

1 qt tomato juice
2 lbs beef
2 cans kidney beans
1 large onion
2 cans stewed tomatoes
2 green peppers
1/2 cup butter
3 stalks celery
pepper
cumin

Brown meat in large pot. Drain. Add rest of ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer (usually I simmer for 2-3 hours). Add pepper and cumin to taste.

We usually have bread or biscuits with it. I have made corn bread and that's a good choice too.
