"Kimberlie's" Chili

I call this one Kimberlie's Chili so that I can distinguish it from the other chili recipes I use. I had a co-worker named Kimberlie who gave me this recipe and I alter it to whatever I have each time, but this is the gist of how the recipe goes....

5 cans of beans - today I used: 2 red, 1 black, 1 white, 1 pinto
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (you can use ground turkey, my family likes beef)
3 tomatoes, diced (I like me some tomatoes)
1 quart bottled tomatoes (I sliced these up a little more for the chili. You can use canned tomatoes but I already have the bottled ones from my garden - my suggestion would be about 2-15 oz cans or one big one)
1 onion, diced
2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp Chili Powder (I use 1 1/2 because of my kids)
1 Tbsp Black Pepper
1 Large bottle of V8 Juice (64 oz - I use the generic brand of vegetable juice)
1 can corn
1 green pepper, chopped

Kimberlie's recipe also said you could add the following optional items: jalapeno, cilantro, sour cream or cream cheese.

Directions: Brown meat on medium heat. Add seasoning. In a separate pan, simmer V8, tomatoes and onion. Add meat to juice, cover and simmer on low for 2 hours.

Weight Watchers for my version of the recipe: 4 points plus value

Opinion: We all love it. I've made this recipe several times and it always makes PLENTY of left overs for my family. I usually end up freezing it in Ziploc Quart bags and warming it up on nights that I don't want to cook or a night that we are having baked potatoes. It's a little runnier than canned chili, but it tastes SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Sorry, no picture at this time because it's still simmering on the stove and we're having it for dinner tonight. I just figured out the WW points plus value and wanted to share while it was fresh in my mind. But, you should just make it yourself and share your opinion with me.
