Have all the ingredients ready. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Over high heat, add pile #1. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Add pile #2. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, uncovered. If too thick, the chili can be thinned with additional tomato juice.

let the moderately long list of ingredients throw you. As is

indicated, all the work consists of chopping and measuring. It is

cooked in essentially two steps . It could not be simpler! [Note, I do

not know the origin of this recipe. I believe it is from a commercial

cookbook. My apologies to the author.] [The ingredients for this

recipe are organized into two piles since everything but the oil is

added in two batches.]
