Cook beef, onion and bell pepper; drain.

Add everything except V-8 juice. Simmer 4 minutes.

Add a can of V-8 juice.

Note: On July 14, 1968, Bill Eurbacher was in the Holiday Inn bar with Sam Golden. Sam asked him for his recipe for chili. He wrote it on a napkin and handed it over. Sam decoupaged the napkin. That note is still in the family!

Chili is actually better the next day, and best the third day, but still pretty good the first day!

Side Note: I came in 2nd place with using slow cooked duck.  I put in the slow cooker the duck (3 lb meat) trying not to have the meat touch the sides of the slow cooker.  Then mix up all the other ingredients except the bell peppers and beans.  Pour over duck.  Cook on high for 1 hour and on low for 5 hours.  Then add the green peppers and beans, stirring a little to coat with the sauce, and cook for another hour on low.  When complete I take out the duck pieces and shred them.  Then return shredded duck to the slow cooker and stir till well combined.  It was super yummy!
