Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medkum sweet onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 15 ounces canned pinto beans drained
- 10 ounces Ro*Tel

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the taco seasoning, chili powder, and ¼ cup of water. Stir well to combine.
- Add the beans, Ro*Tel, enchilada sauce, and corn to the skillet and stir well to combine.
- Arrange half of the Fritos in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Pour the beef mixture over the top. Sprinkle with the cheddar and remaining Fritos.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- Swap out mild Ro*Tel or salsa to cut back on the spice.
- Leave the beans or corn out entirely, if they're not to your tastes.
- We prefer this recipe made with ground beef, but ground turkey may also be used.
