Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Fritos corn chips
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 15 ounces Canned chili (with or without beans)
- 8 ounces Tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.25 cup Jalapeños, sliced (optional, for topping)
- 1 spray Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the canned chili, tomato sauce, chili powder, and garlic powder. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Spread half of the Fritos in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour the beef and chili mixture over the Fritos, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chili layer.
Add the remaining Fritos on top, followed by the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with sliced green onions, sour cream, and jalapeños if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Ez Baked Frito Pie!
