(southern living march 2008)

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 large white onion, chopped
• 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (14 1/2-oz.) can diced tomatoes with green chiles
• 1 (12-oz.) bottle beer
• 1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 (16-oz.) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (16-oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 14 (1 1/4-oz.) bags corn chips
• Garnishes: chopped onion, shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream

Preparation

1. Cook ground beef and next 5 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium heat 10 minutes or until meat crumbles and is no longer pink. Stir in diced tomatoes with green chiles and next 9 ingredients, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 1 hour and 45 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes. Add kidney beans and black beans; cover and cook 15 minutes.

2. Cut corn chip bags open at one long side. Spoon 1/2 cup chili on chips in each bag. Garnish, if desired.

Note: Chili may be frozen in a zip-top plastic freezer bag up to 3 months. For testing purposes only, we used Fritos Brand Original Corn Chips.

The past 3 times I have made this he has gone on and on about it. The funny thing is each time he says, "Hey honey, this recipe rocks...use this one again"

Silly boy....as soon as I heard him proclaim he loved it I threw all other recipes out w/the trash!

My kids love Frito Pie night and this recipe is quick and easy and ohhh soooo good!
