Super - Duper Chili

This is my mom's chili recipe that is seriously the best I've ever had.  It's VERY filling and wonderful with the large dips corn chips.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. bulk pork sausage (I like regular Jimmy Dean's)
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 2 cans chili beans (I use mild)
• 16 oz. jar salsa
• 1 can of sweet kernel corn, drained
• 1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 8 oz. can tomatoe sauce
• 8 oz. velveeta cheese, cubed
• 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
• sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and corn chips (optional)

Preparation:

1. In soup kettle or dutch oven, cook sausage and beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients (or transfer everything to a crockpot and cook on low for a few hours)
3. If using a pot on the stove, bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
4. Serve with sour cream, cheese, and corn chips.

 Yield: 8-10 servings
