- 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

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

- 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).
