Chili

I love Wendy's chili and this is my homemade way better version of it. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 pound freshly ground beef 
• 1 pound ground sausage

• 1 (15-ounce) can chili beans
• 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1½ cups)
• 1/2 cup celery, diced
• 1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin 
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 

Instructions

In a frying pan, brown the ground meats. Put the meat and the remaining ingredients into a 6-quart pot. Cover the pot and let the chili simmer for 1 to 1½ hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
