Nothing like going out on a limb with that title, right? :-) Made in the slow-cooker or a bean pot in the oven or in a pot on the stove-top, any way you prepare it-it comes out D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! (Not that I'm biased!)
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground venison or 1 lb ground turkey
1 large onion, diced
1/2 green pepper, diced
3 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, with sauce
1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces
1 (10 ounce) can tomato soup
1 quart tomato sauce (or spaghetti sauce)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon oregano
2 -3 tablespoons chili powder
tortilla chips, whole, crushed or corn chips
cheddar cheese, grated
onion, minced
sour cream
Directions:
1. Fry ground meat; as it finishes, add the onion and sauté together.
2. While that is working, open all the cans and dump into slow-cooker; add the seasonings; stir to mix.
3. When meat is browned and onions are transparent or golden brown, add the green pepper, cook 1-2 more minutes; then add to the bean mixture; mix well.
4. Cook on high for 3-4 hours; medium for 4-6; low for 6-8 hours.
5. Serve with corn/tortilla chips in bottom of bowl, chili next, and cheese sprinkled over the top; onions & sour cream optional.
6. NOTE: This is actually even BETTER as leftovers!
