Some Real Good Chili

Ingredients

Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Add the meat and stir with a long-handled wooden spoon to break up the pieces. Cook, stirring, until the meat is brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add the onion, garlic, chili powder, Baby Bam, salt, cumin, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes.
Put the whole tomatoes in a large mixing bowl and squeeze them with your hands to break them into pieces.
Add the squeezed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and water to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the pot from the heat, ladle the chili into bowls, and serve.
Be careful of splatters when cooking your meat and when bringing the chili up to a boil.
