Instructions: Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper, onion, and garlic and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, or until tender. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: Serve over rice or with some of your favorite chili toppers like shredded cheese, chopped onions, sour cream, sliced scallions, or jalapeno peppers. And go ahead - add more or less of the burgers and dogs (whatever youve got on hand!) and make it hotter or milder by adjusting the chili powder. The choices are yours!
