  16                    Bags corn chips (1 1/2 oz -- size)

In a  5-quarts kettle or Dutch oven, cook ground beef until well browned.  
Add onion and garlic; cook 2 minutes.  Stir in chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and cumin;
 cook 1 minute.  
Stir in tomatoes and their liquid, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.  
Stir to break up tomatoes into bits.
Heat mixture to boiling over high heat.  Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring
 occasionally.  
If necessary, skim off and discard fat.
(For best flavor, make chili ahead and refrigerate overnight.  Reheat chili and spoon into
 thermos container if transporting to a picnic.)
 
To serve, split open a bag of corn chips along one long side.  
Add 1/2 cup chili, then top with cheese, onions, and peppers.
  
Spooning this spicy chili into bags of corn chips is a fun way to serve it, and allows you to
 eat it while walking around at football games or picnics.
