Recipe Yield: 1 medium saucepan

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1 Ground beef
1 Onion
2 Garlic cloves
1 Can of tomatoes with juice
3 Chili powder
2 Salt
1 Sugar
1 Worcestershire sauce
1 Can of red kidney beans
Cheddar cheese

Instructions:

  1. Brown beef with onions and garlic: In a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally to break up the meat into crumbles.

  2. Drain off excess fat: Once the beef is fully cooked, carefully drain off any excess fat from the pan using a spoon or a kitchen paper towel, ensuring to leave behind the flavorful meat and aromatics.

  3. Add tomatoes, chili powder, sugar, salt, and Worcestershire sauce: To the cooked beef mixture, add the can of tomatoes with its juice, chili powder, sugar, salt, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well to combine all the ingredients and infuse the meat with a rich, savory flavor profile.

  4. Cover and simmer for 1 hour: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan or skillet with a lid, and allow the mixture to simmer gently for approximately 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify as the sauce thickens.

  5. Add beans, juice, and all: After an hour of simmering, add the canned red kidney beans, juice and all, to the saucepan, stirring to incorporate them into the beef mixture and adding a hearty dose of protein and fiber to the dish.

  6. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until thick: Continue to simmer the mixture, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency, thickening to a luscious, spoon-coating texture that clings enticingly to each bite.

  7. Serve over Frito corn chips, rice, or use for chili dogs: Once the Frito pie filling has reached the perfect thickness, it’s time to serve up the deliciousness! Spoon the piping hot mixture generously over a bed of crispy Frito corn chips for the ultimate indulgence, or serve it atop fluffy white rice for a comforting twist. For an extra-special treat, use it as a delectable topping for chili dogs, elevating this classic dish to new heights of flavor.

  8. Top with grated cheddar cheese for a special treat: Before serving, sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese over the top of each portion, allowing it to melt into gooey perfection atop the hot Frito pie filling, adding a creamy, indulgent finishing touch that’s sure to delight your taste buds.
