Frito Chili Pie

How to make Frito Chili Pie

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion diced

1 clove garlic minced

1 14 ounce can kidney beans undrained

1 5.5 ounce can tomato paste

1 10 ounce can rotel

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1 9.25 ounce bag of Fritos chips

For Topping:

sour cream

grated cheddar cheese

diced red onion

minced jalapeño peppers

Instructions:

In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic on medium heat.

Drain off excess fat.

Add kidney beans, tomato paste, rotel, chili powder, salt, sugar, and cumin to ground beef.

Stir to combine.

Turn heat down to medium low.

Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.

Pour a bag of fritos onto a serving dish, or pour a single serving of fritos onto each plate or bowl.

Serve the chili over fritos , sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Then add desired toppings (cheese, onion, jalapeños)

Notes:

This is a basic, thick chili recipe. If you like chili with beans, add in a can of drained and rinsed kidney beans. Also, if you have it on hand, try beef broth instead of water to give this chili and even “beefier” flavor.
