Chili Con Carne

Randal and I have different ways of eating our chili, he has it in a bowl topped with cheese and eats it with crackers, I like it how I grew up eating it, on a bed of rice with jacobs cream crackers. Either way, this recipe makes pretty tasty chili!

1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
