Ingredients

- 1 can Tomato sauce 8 oz. can
- 1 can Diced tomatoes 14.5 oz. can
- 1 can Pinto beans 15 oz. can, Drained and rinsed
- 1 can Chili beans 15.5 oz. can
- 2-3 tablespoon Taco seasoning Adjust according to your preference

- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- 2 tablespoon Cornstarch Dissolved in 2 tablespoon water
- ½ cup Frozen corn
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese Full fat, Shredded
- 2-3 cups Frito corn chips Adjust according to your preference
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
- Add ground beef, onions, garlic and cook until beef is browned and no longer pink.
- Drain grease, if necessary.
- Transfer this mixture to a crockpot (6 quart or larger).
- Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, chili beans, taco seasoning, chili powder, salt, pepper.
- Mix until combined.
- Cover and cook on Low heat for for 5-6 hours or High heat for 3-4 hours.
- Remove lid and mix in cornstarch slurry, frozen corn and half the cheddar cheese and allow the residual heat to melt and make the chili ooey gooey. This takes about 5-10 minutes.
- Just before serving, sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese on top, along with lots of Fritos. Serve immediately! Instead of doing this, you can also serve chili in individual bowls and sprinkle lots of cheddar cheese and Frito chips on top.
Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- After the Frito chips are sprinkled on top, this must be served immediately. Leftovers (without Fritos topping) can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or stovetop. Sprinkle Fritos on top after heating.
