PRIZE WINNING CHILI

Prize Winning Chili image

I won a chili cook-off with this recipe in Tennessee in 1996. My family and friends all love this chili. It is requested for all family get-togethers. Great dish for a chilly day. Serve with shredded cheese and crackers.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped

2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in hot oil until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add sausage and ground beef to onion mixture; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
