Today's Project "Chili"

Chili in my house is a new experience every time. Sometimes I look up a recipe and sometimes I just throw what ever is around my house in the pot.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 4 quart large, heavy saucepan and, when hot, add the onions and both the red and yellow bell peppers and cook until vegetables are soft and lightly caramelized, about 6 minutes.
