- 1 TBSP Oil
- 1 Large Onion, Chopped
- 1 1/2LB Ground Beef
- 1 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 3 1/2 TBSP Chili Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 TBSP Tomato Paste
- 2 cans Chili Beans
- 2 1/2 cups V8 Juice
- 1/3 cup finely crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos.
- 1-4 oz can Green Chilis (optional)
- 2 cups freshly grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Additional salt and pepper to taste
- Extra Doritos at serving time and Freshly Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese for topping
Heat a large pot over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook the onions until tender, 2-3 min. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until brown and then drain. To the browned meat, add the chili seasoning, garlic, and tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Next add the V8 Juice, chili beans, crushed Doritos, and green chilis. Do NOT add the cheeses yet. Stir, cover, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer (around medium-low). Simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the cheese and stir to combine. Allow the cheese to melt for about a minute then stir again. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper as needed. The chili should be rich and thick and the ground beef should be very tender. If it is too thick for your liking add more V-8 Juice or water. YUM!
