Mom's Best Chili image

My family loves this chili and so do my sons girlfriends, it comes out tasting the same almost every time. The spiciness depends on how big of a jalapeno pepper (2 1/2 inches) I use. We like it with just a slight zip so that everyone can enjoy it. Those that like it spicier I give them crushed red pepper, hot sauce changes...

This chili is the perfect way to use up leftover vegetables. I always add a bunch of chopped carrots, celery, and onions.

I'm a vegetarian, but I love this chili. I just substitute the ground beef with crumbled tofu.
