Directions
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan set over medium-high heat; cook ground beef, sausage, cumin, oregano and paprika for 10 to 15 minutes or until browned. Drain excess fat. Transfer to slow cooker, reserving 1/4 cup of the beef and sausage mixture.
Add 3/4 cup chopped onion, garlic, tomatoes, kidney beans and chili powder to slow cooker. Cook on High for 3 hours or Low for 6 hours until chili is fragrant and thickened. (Makes about 6 cups.)
Coat 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine 4 cups chili, cream cheese, 3 cups Tex-Mex cheese blend, sour cream, salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking dish; sprinkle with remaining cheese, and reserved beef and sausage mixture. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are bubbling.
Sprinkle with reserved chopped onion; drizzle with mustard. Garnish with green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.

- Substitute Polish Beef Sausage, Hot Polish Sausage or Polish Sausage for Hot Beef Polish Sausage.
