PAULA DEEN COURAGE CHILI RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Brown the beef and 1 1/2 cups of the onions in a large skillet. Drain off the pan drippings. Add the garlic powder, salt, chili powder, oregano, sugar, soup, flour, and Tabasco. Mix well. Simmer for 1 hour covered, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and beans, stir and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes longer. When the chili is done, empty the bag of Fritos into a large serving bowl, scoop the chili on top of the Fritos, and top it all with dollops of sour cream, remaining 1/2 cup onions, and the Cheddar cheese, which will melt all by itself on the chili. Serve immediately.
