So, as best as I can measure, here's what I do to make my Chili. I cook this in bulk, it freezes well. A warning to the purists, in addition to there being no beans, it is thick with veggies, you should think of it as a spicy stew perhaps. There are a number of shortcuts where it comes to prep. At the end of the day I want to be able make something relatively healthy in bulk without too much effort .Bird's Eye makes a nice mix of Peppers and Onions called "Pepper Stir Fry" which I use to save some prep time. Also I'm using frozen veggies. There's no reason you can't substitute fresh veggies if you want to spend the prep time.
