Start by defrosting meat, chop vegetables while meat defrosts. Put all ingredients EXCEPT meat and onions in a large pot on the stove and turn to high. Brown meat in a skillet with onions while all other ingredients are heating on the stove. Cook ground meat well done. Cut meat should only be seared on the outside (browned on outside) then add meat to pot. Once chili comes to a boil reduce heat and simmer, about 3-4 hours.
