Preparation

Brown hamburger with 4 tablespoons oil, get rid of excess oil. Saute onions, clove garlic, peppers and celery; add to hamburger. Mix all tomatoes, puree, etc. together and add to pot on medium heat. Add all your beans to pot. Now add all your other ingredients to the pot. As we all know, we should be mixing and stirring (since sauteing the onions) with a large wooden spoon.

Now the red wine should be added. NOTE: If you wish to have a less thick chili, you can add beef broth to the mixture. Bring the whole wonderful mess to almost a boil and then place on low heat for about 1 1/2 hours. Makes 14 to 17 quarts.
