Ingredients

Makes: 30 meatballs

• 1 (15 ounce) can no-bean chili

• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• Vegetable oil, for frying

1. Get out a bowl. Put in the can of chili, the raw ground beef, 1 cup crushed chips, chili powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix together with your hands. Then form the mix into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Cover the sheet with wax paper and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
