Add 1 cup of chopped celery and 1 cup of chopped bell pepper to the pot and stir.

Mix in 1 tablespoon and a half of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 and a half teaspoons of oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Add chili powder to taste (exact amount not specified) and stir well.

Add 1 can of chili ready tomatoes, 2 cans of pinto beans, and 2 cans of chili beans to the pot and stir.

Incorporate 1 can of Contadina tomato puree and stir to combine.

Pour in 64 oz of Campbell's tomato juice and stir to mix everything together.

Let the chili simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
