To estimate the total volume of chili based on the ingredients provided, we need to convert everything into consistent volume measurements (cups). Here’s the breakdown of each ingredient:

1. **100% Tomato Juice by Kroger**: 48 fl oz
- 48 fl oz = 6 cups (1 cup = 8 fl oz)

2. **Petite Diced Peeled Tomatoes in Tomato Juice by Kroger**: 4 cups

3. **Dark Red Kidney Beans by Kroger**: 4 cups

4. **Tomato Sauce by Kroger**: 1 3/4 cups = 1.75 cups

5. **Chili Kidney Beans with Mild Chili Sauce by Bush's Best**: 4 cups

6. **Tomato Paste by Kroger**: 11 tbsp
- 11 tbsp = 0.6875 cups (since 1 cup = 16 tbsp, 11 tbsp = 11/16 = 0.6875 cups)

7. **Cooked Ground Beef**: The volume of cooked ground beef can vary, but a general estimate is that 1.5 lbs of ground beef corresponds to about 3 cups after cooking, depending on how finely it's crumbled. So we'll estimate this as:
- 3 cups

8. **Creamy Peanut Butter by Great Value**: 1 tbsp = 0.0625 cups

Now, let's sum these volumes:

- Tomato Juice: **6 cups**
- Diced Tomatoes: **4 cups**
- Dark Red Kidney Beans: **4 cups**
- Tomato Sauce: **1.75 cups**
- Chili Kidney Beans: **4 cups**
- Tomato Paste: **0.6875 cups**
- Ground Beef: **3 cups**
- Peanut Butter: **0.0625 cups**

Total volume = 6 + 4 + 4 + 1.75 + 4 + 0.6875 + 3 + 0.0625

Calculating that gives:

Total volume = 6 + 4 + 4 + 1.75 + 4 + 0.6875 + 3 + 0.0625 = 23.5 cups

Thus, you can estimate that the total volume of chili based on the ingredient portioning is approximately **23.5 cups**.
