Chili and Chips

Chili is great all year round. Chili and Chips is my take on the classic basic chili recipe, but with one addition, corn chips! You would be surprised how much more a simple crunch can bring to a chili. Give it a shot.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon dried onions
1 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
salt & pepper, to taste
2 cans (15-ounces) diced tomatoes (with chilis if you like)
2 cans (15-ounces) red kidney beans
2 cans (8-ounces) tomato sauce
2 cans corn, drained
corn chips, to taste
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 fresh tomato, diced
1 green pepper, diced
sour cream, to taste
black olives, sliced

Instructions

Brown ground beef with salt & pepper, dried onions, half the chili powder, and minced garlic. Drain & rinse.
Add remaining canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, kidney beans, & corn. Simmer.
To serve, place a handful of chips in a bowl, top with chili, cheese, tomato, green pepper, sour cream, and black olives.
