Awesome Chili

I went to make chili tonight and realized that I didn't pick up all of the ingredients to make chili the way that I usually make it and the other recipe I have is an all day one so I improvised and came up with this.

Awesome Chili
Servings: 8-10
Adapted from: Tom's mom's recipe

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 16 oz. can tomato sauce
1 16 oz. can diced tomatoes (I used Italian style this time)
1 8 oz. can Chi Chi's Fiesta green chiles
1 16 oz. can Hormel chili with beans
1 16 oz. can red kidney beans
2 tbs. chili powder
1 tsp. Chipotle chili powder (can be omitted)
1 tbs. cumin
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
3-4 hot cherry peppers in oil, diced(they're near the pickles in the grocery store)
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (or Mexican), divided

Directions: 
1. In a medium skillet brown the ground beef and drain the grease.
2. While the ground beef is cooking, add the onion, tomato sauce, chili sauce, green chilies, chili with beans and kidney beans into a large pot. After the ground beef is done, add that in and stir to combine.
3. Add in all of the spices and cherry peppers. You might want to omit some of the cherry peppers if you don't like a lot of heat.
4. Cook on low to medium low for 30 minutes. If you want to let it cook for a while keep it on low and stir occasionally.
5. Serve in bowls and top with cheese!

And in other news, my extremely lazy cat who used to do absolutely nothing but lay on the bed at the old apartment is quite amused with this one. She runs around, plays and doesn't look like a bump on a log anymore! Yay Gidget!!
