Step 1
Start by heating some vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, celery, and garlic, and cook them gently until they’re soft and fragrant—about five minutes. Next, add the ground beef to the pot and break it up with your spoon or spatula. Cook it, stirring often, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Once the beef is cooked, drain off any excess grease.

Now, stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently, stirring every now and then, for about an hour and a half so all the flavors meld together.
