Instructions

Step 1

Cook ground beef over medium heat and stir often to break up into small pieces.

Step 2

Cut onion and add to ground beef when nearly done. Chop celery, carrots and sweet peppers, add to beef when basically done. Add minced garlic and all other dry seasonings and spices. Red pepper flakes can be added sparingly IF you like it hot!

Step 3

Turn burner down to medium-low to simmer.

Step 4

Stir in all canned tomatoes, cans of breaks and one tomato paste. Stir in the brown sugar. Simmer about two hours and stir very often to avoid burning to bottom of pot.

Step 5

In the meantime, boil about 5 cups of Elbow Macaroni for 8-10 minutes, only until just past Al'dente stage. Rinse quickly with cold water to stop cooking, drain.

Step 6

Serve noodles covered with hot chili and top with shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.
