Ingredients


    4 onions
    4 green peppers
    1 pound of Serrano peppers
    2-3 pkgs of celery stalks.
    20 pounds ground beef, (80/20 used in this recipe).
    2 46-oz and 1 64 oz bottle tomato juice
    1 6 lb, 6 oz can stewed tomatoes
    1 6 lb, 6 oz can crushed tomatoes
    2 large cans of kidney beans (13 cups in each #10 can). .

Directions

coarsely chop:
4 onions, 4 green peppers, 1 pound of Serrano peppers, 2-3 pkgs of celery stalks.
Brown 20 pounds ground beef, breaking up into chunks - not fine grounds. (80/20 used in this recipe). DRAIN all that fat off!
Divide the ground beef among 2 large kettles, add the tomato juice (dividing between the 2 kettles).
Allow the beef to cook. The stewed tomatoes and crushed tomatoes came in large (6 lb, 6 oz) cans. Divide each can between the 2 kettles.
Add the chopped veggies, dividing between the 2 kettles.
bring to a simmer. If you are going to freeze, don't keep cooking. If this is for serving 'fresh', continue to cook the veggies. You don't want them to get mushy, so protect from overcooking.
Rinse 2 large cans of kidney beans (13 cups in each #10 can). Add to the kettles and stir gently to mix. Allow to heat through.
