First, in a large pot, brown ground chuck and then drain.

Next, add sausage, onion, green peppers, garlic and cook until browned.

After sausage is browned, add diced tomatoes, green chiles, tomato sauce, chili mix, beans and tomato paste, stirring occasionally while simmering for at least an hour.

After about an hour, all the flavors have marinated together and you can serve!

We usually dish ours up with crackers, cheese, sour cream and a peanut butter sandwich and let people dress it how they like it, some people love it thin like a soup and others love it so thick they can eat it with a fork. Customize it to fit your taste buds. Enjoy!
