With the pandemic still ongoing, many people are unable to attend games in person. Thanks to hostthetoast.com we found a great chili cheese dog party dip to make at home that everyone will love!

Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 1 jalapeno chile, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

INSTRUCTIONS
- Brown the beef in a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of canola oil.
- Add in the peppers, celery, onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Saute until the vegetables become slightly tender.
- In a seperate bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring well.
- Cook until the vegetables are completely tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add kidney beans, crushed tomato, diced tomatoes, salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The chili should become very thick.
