Easy Frito Chili Pie

Step 1

Spray a 2-inch deep 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray and dump the 1 (9-ounce) bag original Fritos chips into the pan.

Step 2

Heat a pot over medium-high heat on the stove, add the 1 pound ground beef and 1 cup diced onion to the pot. Cook for 8 minutes until the meat is browned and the onion is tender.

Step 3

Add the 3 teaspoons minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper to the meat mixture and stir to combine. Cook for one more minute.

Step 4

Add in the 1 cup beef broth, 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (10-ounce) can Rotel tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) drained and rinsed can pinto beans, and 1 (15-ounce) drained and rinsed can kidney beans. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.

Step 5

Pour the chili evenly over the Fritos in the pie pan.

Step 6

Top with 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Broil the pie on HIGH in the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from the oven and serve fresh.
