Chorizo and Hominy Chili

Here is a delicious way to feed a crowed. I served this for my pumpkin carving party where I re-named all the menu items with creepy, spooky names; the chili being Hellish Human Stew! Its so super easy and even though it was made it minutes, it tasted like it had been cooking all day...and the hominy adds an extra texture that is a welcomed surprise.

2 1/2 LBS chorizo, out of the casing
1 red onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves
2 22oz cans chopped tomatoes
2 15oz cans kidney beans
2 15 oz cans hominy
1 1/2 tsp oregano
2 bay leafs
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp cumin

On medium-high, brown chorizo until fully cooked. Add onion and garlic and saute for aprox. 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until bubbling. Turn down heat to low and cover. Let simmer for aprox. 10 minutes. Serve with corn chips, cheese and sour cream! Yummmm!!
