Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat oil. Once shimmering, add onion and peppers. Once they are becoming tender, add garlic, parsley, chili powder, oregano, and cumin. Allow to toast for about a minute or two.
- Add in ground beef and continue cooking until cooked through. Then add in beans, tomato juice, tomato sauce, and chopped tomatoes.

- Simmer for around 2 hours. You can be done after about an hour, but the longer the better!
Notes
This version isn't super spicy, if you want yours to have a lot of heat, here is what I do when I want a lot of heat: add another jalapeno, 1/2 t cayenne pepper, and 1/2 t white pepper, taste, and if it needs more heat, add more!
