It’s December and the weather has been really warm prior to this week. Since I knew it was supposed to get cold, Sunday I decided to make some chili.  I have always been afraid to attempt making chili until I heard that you can buy chili in a box.  It’s really a lot better than it sounds.  It’s actually just the spices in the box and you add all the good stuff to make the chili your own. Let me tell you, this was REALLY easy to make. I highly recommend making some to keep you warm this winter!

Ingredients:
1 box of Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit (There are other brands out there that I hear are really good, too)
1 8 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes, (drained)
1 can of rotel
2 8 oz. cans of water
1 lb of browned ground beef, (drain fat)
1 lb of browned stew meat, (drain fat)

Add tomato sauce, diced tomato, rotel,  water, spice packet, cayenne pepper, and salt packet in to the crockpot and put on high.
While the sauces are cooking, brown the ground beef, drain the fat.
Brown the stew meat, drain the fat.

Add the meat to the sauce mix and cook on high for three hours.

Add the Masa flour (from the kit) and 1/3 cup of water into the crockpot and cook for another 30 minutes. Once it’s cooked, put fritos in a bowl, put the chili on top and then add cheese on top of that.  YUMMY Frito Pie!
You can also add additional things if you like to make it your own. I just don’t like all the extras, so this is all I added!
