Chili Salad? YES!

Is that Chili Salad you ask?  Why yes it is - I'm glad you asked!!  I made this a while back and it really was a fantastic combination!  Take one bed of spring greens, top with one tried and true recipe for Chili, add some crumbled tortilla chips and finish off with some grated cheese.  Seriously, can't get any better!  (and it's a great way of making Mike eat salad -haha).

My Tried and True Chili Recipe
1 lb lean ground beef
1 large onion, diced
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 can of corn, drained and rinsed
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of diced tomatoes, with liquid
1 cup of salsa (or if not on hand, I actually use tomato soup)
2-4 TBSP chili powder (my stock is old so I use lots!)
S&P to taste

Scramble fry the ground beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink.  Drain and rinse in the sink to get rid of the extra fat.  Add all other ingredients into the pan and let simmer for about half an hour (l.onger if you have the time!!).
