Easy Frito Pie is the best version of a classic, made in one pan, ready to eat in under 30 minutes! We love the thick hearty chili, gooey cheese, and crunchy corn chips!
Optional Toppings:Sour Cream, Diced Green or Red Onions, Guacamole, Lettuce, Diced Tomatoes, Olives.
2CupsShredded Cheese

Instructions
Heat a large ovenproof skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion, ground beef, taco seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
Cook, breaking up the meat as you go for 5-6 minutes until no longer pink. Drain any grease if necessary, and return the meat to the pan.
Add the beans and tomato sauce to the pan and stir to combine. Turn the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat your ovens broiler to high.
Top the chili with half of the cheese, then the corn chips, then the remaining cheese.
Place the pan in the oven under the broiler for just 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

You can also make ahead, allow it to cool completely, and store in a freezer safe zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the chili first if necessary.
