Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion the peppers, the mushrooms, the jalapenos and cook for 5 minutes.

Stir in the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and then let simmer over medium low heat, stirring frequently for 1- 1:30 hours.

I love easy recipes that cook slowly and the spices blend and develop to form a tasty dish.

Serve in a soup bowl and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
This is my adaptation of different chili recipes that I tried and liked.
