Chili Pie!

It's that time of year when the chili cook offs begin! I have listed a recipe that I hope you will enjoy.
I'm not quite sure why they call adding chili over potatoes or corn a pie, but it is pretty popular here in Kansas.

Chili Pie Serves 8
2 lbs Ground beef
1 packet Chili Seasoning packet
3 tsp. Cinnamon
4 Tbsp. Worcestershire
2 tsp. Salt
3 tsp Pepper
20 oz Chili beans
20 oz Kidney beans
1 8 oz can Tomato Paste
3 Tomatoes quartered
3 medium Onions diced
2 8 oz cans of diced tomatoes with juice
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup diced red pepper
1/4 cup diced yellow or orange pepper
1 cup sliced mushrooms
Tater tots
Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
More salt and pepper to taste

Brown beef till fully cooked.Strain out grease and rinse under water. Set aside.

Cook Quartered Tomatoes with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Saute onions, peppers and mushrooms in 2 Tbsp butter until onions are clear. Add juice from diced tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside.

Add all ingredients in large pot and cook on medium heat for 30 minutes. Let set for another 30 minutes to allow spices time to saturate the chili.
