½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
1 cup grated carrot
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 scant tablespoon white sugar
(1) 12 ounce can tomato paste
(2) 15 ounce cans kidney beans
4 cups beef broth
corn chips
Brown ground beef and onions until there is no more pink in the meat then drain well. Return the meat-onions to the pan and add everything else. Simmer slowly for a couple hours if you have the time (at least one hour). If the chili gets too thick, add a little water. You can put it in the crockpot at this stage.
