The countdown is on to the big game.  What will you be serving for the Super Bowl?  Change it up and make chili.  A chili bar is a fun way to let your guest garnish their chili with their favorite yummies.  I’m a sucker for a Frito Pie.  This regional treat always makes me happy.  You can see that I add the toppings.   Change the score this year with your own chili bar.
The countdown to Super Bowl has begun! -AF

Fuller Chili
(the first recipe my mother-in-law shared with me- A few adaptions have occurred but she still loves me!)

1 1/2 lb. hamburger or turkey meat

1 bell pepper

1 white onion

1 large can Ranch Style Beans

1 large can diced tomatoes

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 can Rotel (if you like it hot)

1 large can of tomato juice

1 pkg. chili powder (envelope)

1 T chili powder

1 t garlic

Brown meat.  Drain any fat.  Add package of chili powder and water.  Let season set.  In large soup pot, soften onions and bell peppers about 4 minutes.  Now add everything to soup pot.  The last ingredient I add  is the tomato juice.  You need to make the executive decision of how thick you want your chili.  Decisions, decisions.  Bring chili to a boil.  Simmer for at least 30 minutes.  You can also make in a crockpot.

Set the chili bar.  We add shredded cheese, onions, sour cream, and hot sauce.  Plus we love Frito pies. Load it up!

Make it a Frito Pie!
