Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 10 oz Fritos™ corn chips, about 5 cups
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, 1 cup
• 20 oz tomato sauce, or enchilada sauce, 2 1/2 cups
• 20 oz chili beans, 2 1/2 cups (see note)
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• Serving - Optional
• guacamole
• sour cream
• green onions
• shredded lettuce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Set aside a rectangular 9×13 in (33x23 cm) baking dish.
2. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly browned.
3. Add the tomato sauce or enchilada sauce and chili beans. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add 2 cups of Fritos™ to the prepared dish. Then pour the chili mixture on top to make a layer.
5. Add the remaining Fritos™ and top with the cheddar cheese.
6. Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
7. Remove from oven and add optional green onions and garnishes.

Notes

Chili beans are pre-seasoned beans. You can also use regular cooked kidney or pinto beans with 1 1/2 tbsp of taco seasoning added.
Spicy variation: try using Spicy Jalapeno Fritos or add sliced fresh jalapeños on top (before the cheese).
