Frito Pie Sloppy Joes
Description
The Frito Pie Sloppy Joes recipe starts by browning ground beef with chopped yellow onions until the onions caramelize and the beef is broken into crumbles. Adding a mix of ranch beans, enchilada sauce, and tomato sauce creates a thick, slightly reduced sloppy joe filling with a rich, savory depth. The filling is spooned over toasted brioche buns, which bring a slightly sweet and soft base to balance the savory meat. The piled-on cheddar cheese melts into the warm filling, adding a sharp creaminess, while a generous sprinkle of Fritos corn chips provides a crunchy, salty finish. Thinly sliced green onions can be added for a touch of brightness and freshness.
This sandwich works well as a satisfying lunch or casual dinner option. The combination of textures—from soft bun to melty cheese and crunchy chips—keeps each bite interesting. Serving immediately helps keep the Fritos crisp, and the warmth of the filling ensures a comforting, filling meal.
Note features a simple timing tool for cooking steps. The recipe is straightforward, requiring no advanced preparation, but stirring occasionally while simmering helps achieve the best sloppy consistency. Using brioche buns adds a gentle sweetness and a sturdy yet tender bread base that balances the rich meat mixture and crunchy toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef , (85/15)
- 1 yellow onion , chopped
- 1 can ranch beans
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 cups cheddar cheese , shredded
- 2 green onions , thinly sliced (optional)
- 6 Brioche buns
- 2 cups corn chips brand Fritos
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef and onions over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, until onions are caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, and beans. Cook until sauce reduces slightly and mixture is "sloppy" (this should take another 5-6 minutes).
- Top brioche bun with beef mixture, then cheddar cheese and Frito chips. Add green onions if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh ground beef and brown it thoroughly with onions to develop caramelized onion flavor.
- Serve the sandwich immediately after assembling to keep the Fritos corn chips crunchy.
- You can omit green onions if not preferred; they add a mild, fresh bite.
- Choose brioche buns for a tender, slightly sweet bread that holds up well to the moist filling.
