Meatless Chili

This is a recipe from Nancy's family.  It's not something I can eat anymore.  But I used to like it a lot, and Nancy's been hungry for chili.  And how could I NOT make chili in this weather!

INGREDIENTS

6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 green peppers, chopped

1 large can diced tomatoes

1 6 oz can tomato paste

1 Tbsp brown sugar

2-3 cups frozen corn

1 46-oz V-8 juice

8 cups chili beans, 1/2 processed in food processor or blender

1/2 - 1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cumin

2 tsp oregano

Salt to taste

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Heat olive oil in large saucepan.  Add onions and garlic.  Sauté.  Add green peppers.  Sauté.  At this point sautéed veggies can be moved to large crock pot to finish cooking chili, or kept in the very large saucepan to finish cooking the chili on the stove.  Add all the other ingredients.  Simmer or cook on low until done.
