Ingredients

1 pound ground beef lean
1 pound mild ground sausage I used Jimmy Dean
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon Lawry's garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
29 ounces tomato sauce
15 ounce can black beans drained
15 ounce can white beans drained
2 10-ounce cans Rotel diced tomatoes mild
1/2 cup prepared salsa verde I used Herdez mild
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dry Ranch Dressing mix from packet
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice

For Serving

8 small bags Fritos
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
24 slices jalapeños

Instructions

Place beef and sausage into a large dutch oven over medium heat. Crumble and start browning.
Stir in minced garlic, garlic salt, salt and pepper until well combined.
Cook until browned then add tomato sauce, beans, tomatoes, salsa verde, chili powder, cumin, Ranch dressing mix and lime juice. Stir to combine until hot.
Reduce heat to simmer until ready to serve. I like to simmer on low for a few hours before serving to enhance the flavor.
To serve, use Frito bags or pour Fritos into a separate bag/bowl, top with spoonfuls of chili, cheese and jalapeños.
