Instructions:
- Cook the beef: In a big pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. Drain any extra fat.
Add veggies: Toss in the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until the veggies soften.
Dump in the rest: Add the kidney beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and green chilies to the pot. Stir everything together.
