Preparation

Step 1

Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, and crumble to about pea size.

In a large pot over high heat combine the ground beef, tomato juice, tomato sauce, kidney beans, pinto beans, onions, bell pepper, cayenne pepper, sugar, oregano, ground black pepper, salt, cumin and chili powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

Note: If using a slow cooker, set on low, add ingredients, and cook for 8 to 10 hours.
