Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (venison also works well)
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3-5 tablespoons chili powder to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (15.5-ounce) can chili beans, undrained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
3 “cans” water, more if needed
1cup rice, uncooked
Tortilla chips
Processed cheese slices (I use Velveeta)
Directions
In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until brown. Add bell pepper and onion, sautéing until tender. Add chili powder (start with 3 tablespoons, and increase to taste) and salt and pepper. Add chili beans and diced tomatoes. Using bean or tomato can, add 3 cans water and stir. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer covered for about 1 hour, stirring in additional water as needed to prevent sticking. Add rice and enough water to cook rice. Continue to simmer until rice is tender, adding water if needed. It should be only slightly thick with some liquid left.
Serve mixture on a handful of crushed tortilla chips, and top with processed cheese slices.
Notes: Adjust this recipe to your liking. Adjust chili powder, cook longer for thicker hash, use cornbread instead of chips, use different cheeses, etc.
Note: I make it year-round. It is an easy and hearty family meal. Enjoy!
