Slow Carb Chili, or just my standard chili

Chili
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion diced
3 stalks celery diced
1 bell pepper diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 jalapeno diced
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cinammon
salt pepper
1 tsp or more of cayenne
1 can black beans
1 can pinto (or red)
1 pound 85/15 organic ground beef
1 jar of tomato sauce (I used ragu)

Heat the olive oil in a medium to large size pot over medium low heat.  Add the onion, celery and pepper and cook until soften, about ten minutes.  Add the garlic and jalapeno and allow to cook for about two minutes.  Add the spices and allow to cook for about a minute.  Add the beef and let it cook all the way through, about ten minutes.  Add the beans.  Allow the vegetables, beef and beans mingle for about 5 minutes.  Add the jar of tomato sauce.  You can allow this to simmer for as long or as little as you want. I haven't noticed the flavor change much by allowing it to sit longer or now.  If you're not slow carb, serve with tortilla chips. If you are slow carb, serve with avocado and tomato. Enjoy!
