1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
10 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups chopped green peppers
1-1/2 cups chopped sweet red peppers
1-1/2 cups chopped celery

1 cup water

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven coated with nonstick cooking spray, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the peppers, celery and jalapenos. Cook and stir for 8 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Yield: 10 servings (about 4-1/4 quarts). Editor's Note: When cutting or seeding hot peppers, use rubber or plastic gloves to protect your hands. Avoid touching your face.
