Method

Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the chili powder, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another minute to allow the spices to become fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Beans

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and add the drained kidney beans. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Simmer the Chili

    Add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Base

    In individual serving bowls, add a generous amount of Fritos corn chips as the base.

  2. 7

    Top with Chili

    Spoon the hot chili mixture over the Fritos, making sure to cover them well.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili, followed by a dollop of sour cream. Finish with chopped green onions.

  4. 9

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the Frito Chili Pie warm, allowing everyone to mix the toppings into their chili as they enjoy.
