My children always just called this Jack's Chili because it was the way a friend of mine made his chili.

1	lb	Hamburger, browned & drained
1		Onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2	15 1/2 oz cans	Tomatoes
2	stalks	Celery, chopped
2	15 oz cans	Kidney beans
1	15 oz can	Whole kernel corn
1	pkg	Chili-O mix
1	clove	Garlic, crushed
1/2	tsp	Salt
1/4	tsp	Black pepper
3	cans	Water
1	can	Beer (dark German beer gives more flavor, but any will do)

• Coat a large skillet with cooking spray. Add meat and onion; cook until browned, stirring to crumble meat. Drain well.
• Place in large Dutch oven over medium heat; add Chili-O mix, tomatoes and mix well. Add beans and other ingredients (adding beer last); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Ladle into bowls; sprinkle with cheese. Top with chopped onion (opt.)

  Some prefer it a little spicier so can add additional chili powder.
