Easy Chili Recipie

This chili recipie is very easy, flavorful without being hot. 

1 package ground beef - 1 to 2 pounds
1 bag frozen sliced bell peppers (various colors)
1/2 to 1 chopped onion (optional)
1 large can tomato sauce
1/4 cup chili powder
2 cans beans (black, kidney, or chili)
Salt and pepper to taste.
1/2 can or bottle of beer (optional.  Drink the other half while you are cooking.)

In a large skillet, crumble the ground beef, and add the bell peppers and onions.  Stir and cook. When the beef is brown, put it all in a large pot.  Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a slow simmer and cook for at least an hour, or longer if you can. You can add your favorite hot sauce if you like it hotter.
