*** Healthy way of cooking meat suggestions PLEASE READ!

This way of cooking meats is much better for you and taste better too!
Our family boils our meat in a big pot separately in water such as hamburger or what ever meat for your chili! 
We boil the meat in water for about 1 hour or until the meat is fully cooked. 
When done, we then use a colander and pour off the hot greasy water off into a bowl then you can 
discard out doors somewhere NOT pour your greasy water off into your kitchen sink! 
“Over time pouring grease or greasy water off into your kitchen sink drains will clog your drains” 
Now you have your meat cooked and a big percentage of your meat cooked without all that bad grease! 
Now you have your meat poured and drained in a bowl. 

Cooking your meat by this cooking method above, this way it won't give you any heart burn!

Now you have your meat cooked with out all that bad grease and set aside. 

In a large soup pot, sauté onion, carrots and celery in a little water or stock until onions are translucent.  
Add remaining ingredients, except salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.  
Add cooked meat now.
Simmer 35 minutes or until vegetables are tender.  
Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.  
Taste and add salt, additional lemon juice, or additional brown sugar as needed.

Cover and cook on low about 8 hours.
