Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef, onion, and garlic on medium heat. Drain off excess fat.
  2. Add kidney beans, tomato paste, rotel, chili powder, salt, sugar, and cumin to ground beef. Stir to combine. Turn heat down to medium low. Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
  3. Pour a bag of fritos onto a serving dish, or pour a single serving of fritos onto each plate or bowl. Serve the chili over fritos , sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and use desired toppings.

Notes

  • Optional toppings: diced onions, diced jalapeno peppers, sour cream, sliced green onions, diced tomatoes orchopped bell peppers. 
  • To store your chili, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or in the freezer up to three months. I do not recommend storing it with the Fritos in it, at least if you enjoy the crunch the Fritos provide. The chips will soften in the chili, so if you store it with the chips in it, they will lose the crunch.
