ingredients

4 cups Fritos corn chips
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup Monterey jack cheese, grated

Texas Style Chili

3 pounds lean chuck, chopped fine
4 tablespoons lard
1 large yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
6 jalapeno chilies, stems and seeds removed
1/4 cup crushed red pepper flakes
3 dried ancho peppers, stems, seeds removed,cut into 1 inch pieces
1 can (10.5 ounce size) condensed beef broth
1 can water (use broth can)
1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix the cheeses. Spread 2 cups of Fritos in a 6" x 13" baking pan. Sprinkle half the onion and half the cheese over the Fritos. Cover the Fritos with chili. Sprinkle on the remaining Fritos, onion and cheese.

Cover thoroughly with chili and bake for 15 or 20 minutes until cheese is thoroughly melted. Serve hot with plenty of ice cold beer or milk for those who don't indulge.

For Chili: Place the peppers, garlic, and onions in a food processor until chopped fine. Add the meat, salt and white pepper to the processor and course chop meat. Heat up the lard in a large sauce pan or skillet and cook until the meat is brown.

In a soup pot add beef broth, water, cumin, and Mexican oregano. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Add the meat mixture slowly. Simmer uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking.
