Easy Chili

While Chili has always been a staple in our house for years, I make it less and less as time takes it toll on the tummy - it just does not tolerate the spicy as much anymore!  This chili is not that spicy and easily modified.

Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
2 Cans Ventti Chili
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 jar Alfredo sauce
Celery salt
Thyme
Garlic salt
Garlic cloves
1 medium yellow onion
Tabasco sauce
Good spicy mustard (not baby shit mustard)
Bag of grated Mexican cheese

One last ingredient -- a bag of Chili flavored, or regular flavored, Fritos.

OK, here's the easy part, you're going to throw everything in the pot in two easy steps.  First put your crockpot on high to cook and brown the meat and cook the diced onions and garlic cloves at the same time.
While the meat is browning go ahead and open all the cans.  If you want to stretch this for a larger family or you don't like as much meat in your chili then use the large Vietti chili cans plus a can or two of regular or spicy chili beans.

With the meat browned and all the cans opened just pour everything into the pot, reducing the temperature to the lowest setting.  Sprinkle a little celery salt, about a 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt, another 1/4 teaspoon of thyme, couple of shakes of pepper,  a few shots of tabasco sauce (your call), three teaspoons of the mustard and let it all cook for at least 4 hours -- best for a day.  About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the top of the chili with mexican cheese mix.

Once you're ready to eat, place a bed of Fritos on the bottom of a medium bowl before spooning on the chili.  Monica likes more Fritos than chili!
