• 1-2 cloves of garlic
• 1 lb of ground beef
• 1 white or yellow onion
• 1 green pepper
• 1 can of chili beans
• 2 cans of chopped tomatoes
• 2-3 Chipotles
• Oregano
• Cumin
• Jalapenos, pickled
• Don’t forget your tortilla chips!
• Shredded cheese for nachos or you can shred your own Monterey and mozzarella
• Beef broth of stock (stay away from using bullion)
• Bay leaf
• Chili powder
• Frozen corn

Step #1: Begin by chopping half a large onion and the green bell pepper. Make sure you have equal amounts chopped of both. 

Step #2: Put your beef in a pan and brown it with some olive oil, your green pepper and onion. 

Step #3: Open all your cans while the beef is browning. Start to chop up a few jalapenos and chipotles. Do not touch your eyes while doing this and rinse your hands after.

Step #4: When the meat has cooked long enough you can add the chili beans, chopped peppers and the can of tomatoes. Mix hot water with ½ cup of beef stock and add it to the chili mix as well. Then get your cumin, the bay leaf, oregano and chili powder and add to your meat mix. 

Step #5: Let your chili meat simmer for whatever time you wish. It is supposed to be quite soup like. If you like your veggies to still be firm then do not over cook your mixture. You can then add some of your frozen corn to the mix to cook for the last 15 minutes or so.

Step #6: If you only like a little amount of topping on your nachos then keep it to a minimum. If you like loads of cheese and toppings go nuts! You can always make it chunkier by adding more jalapenos, vegetables or chopped onion. Toppings can also include salsa, guacamole, sour cream and black olives.

Step #7: Get your plate or dish and spread out a nice layer of tortilla nacho chips. You can then put some of your chili on top with extra onion and chopped jalapenos and then load with cheese. 

Step #8: Then stick in your oven so that the cheese melts over the chili and nachos.

Voila! It is party time!
