Best Bang for the Buck Chili

• My mom would serve chili like this from time to time and I loved it.  The Tamales in it really add to the flavor and texture so it's not just a regular ol' can of chili.  It's a quick and easy and good lunch for a cold winter day.From the kitchen of:  Kim GronemanINGREDIENTS:1 can of Chili.  I like Nalley Con Carne with Beans (Regular or Cheddar Cheese)

  • I've tried more expensive brands and, to me, they don't taste as good

• 1 can of Hormel Tamales - Beef in Chili Sauce OR Lynn Wilson Tamales

• Some (and that's an exact measurement) grated cheddar cheese

• INSTRUCTIONS: Just divide out the chili and tamales into 2 or 3 servings...or heat in one big bowl...you choose.  Nuke it until warm 'nuf for ya.

  • The canned tamales are wrapped in paper..please discard that part unless you really want to increase the fiber in your diet.

  • I like to cut up the tamales into bite sized pieces before warming

•  Top with the cheese to taste

MAKES: This usually makes two big servings or 3 smaller ones.
