This mild chili over a bowl of corn chips will appeal to kids of all ages.
- 1 package Wick Fowler’s False Alarm Chili mix
- 2 pounds low fat ground beef (93% lean)
- 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1 10-16 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1 bag regular sized FRITOS® corn chips
- Shredded cheese for garnish
- Optional: diced onions for garnish
Brown the meat in a large non-stick skillet. For FRITOS® Pie chili, process the browned meat to a fine consistency. This will allow the chili to flow over and around the corn chips and coat them thoroughly.
Return the cooked, processed meat to the skillet and add the tomato sauce, tomatoes, and all the contents of the Wick Fowlers’ box EXCEPT the packet of masa flour. Bring the chili to a boil and simmer, covered, about 30 minutes. For thicker chili, add the masa flour to a small bowl and slowly add 1/4-1/2 Cup of water to the flour – first making a thick paste and then thinning it to a watery glue-like liquid. Add the masa to the chili and simmer another 15 minutes.
Each person can assemble their own FRITOS® Pie using corn chips as a base for the chili, cheese and/or onions.
FRITOS® Pie Salad
For a healthier one-bowl meal, start with a layer of salad greens, then add a 3/4 Cup of chili, 1/2 Cup FRITOS® and 2 Tablespoons grated cheese. No dressing necessary, the chili ties all the flavors together nicely.
