Heat up a large pot and pan on a medium heat.
Chop the Onions, Bell Pepper, Poblano Pepper, 1 Jalapeño, and Garlic. Make sure you remove all seeds from your Peppers, except for the one remaining Jalapeño. Leave that one whole for now.
You may want to use a glove when chopping the jalapeño. The residue from the pepper can wreak havoc on your skin.
Add 1/2 Tablespoon of the Olive Oil to the large pan.
Add the chopped vegetables and sauté 15-20 minutes.
After 15-20 Minuets, add the 6 oz can of Tomato Paste. Sauté for another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the other 1/2 tablespoon of Olive Oil to the large pot, and drop in the ground beef to the pot.
After 10 minuets of sautéing the Vegetables with the Paste, add the cup of water to the pan, and break up anything stuck to the bottom.
Pour the vegetable and paste mixture into the pot with the Ground Beef.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and Ranch Style beans.
Add the Cumin, Chili Powder, Garlic Salt, Smoked Paprika, Cajun Seasoning, and Bay Leaves.
Chop the remaining jalapeño with the seeds, and add to the pot.
Turn the heat up to bring the chili to a slight boil. Once boil is achieved, cover and lower the heat to a simmering heat.
Let simmer for 2-3 hours stirring every 15 minutes.
