chili recipe?

[momof4blessings]

I'm looking for two recipes for chili. The first chili recipe I need is to go over corn chips for a Frito Pie. The second recipe is for a chili as a complete meal that can go in the crock pot. I'm looking for something different and maybe easier. Thanks.

I make an 'off the cuff' chili. Basically beef, onions, jalapeno's, tomato sauce, chili powder, beans. Really whatever we have in the fridge/cupboard. I've been known to use pasta sauce or ketchup to thin it out. It's not a dish that I give a lot of thought to.

[flash]

I'll post several chili style recipes under "soups", since I use a bowl for them :)

A general "frito chili pie", for those who don't know:

Ingredients- 3 cups FRITO® brand corn chips, divided - 1 large onion, chopped - 1 cup grated American cheese - 1 (15-ounce) can chili (any variety)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place 2 cups of corn chips in a baking dish. Arrange chopped onion and half of grated cheese on the corn chips. Pour chili over onion and cheese. Top with the remaining corn chips and grated cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
