Frito Pie

I haven't thought about or eaten a good old frito pie in so long.  Are they still in style? Can food be out of style? Regardless, this was amazing, Joy the Baker really knows her way around spices.

I googled it and found nothing about frito pie but I was born in the year where sushi became trendy. Good to know!

Frito Pie
Adapted from Joy the Baker's Chili

• tablespoon of olive oil
• large white onion chopped, half cup reserved from topping
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 16 ounce can of tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
• salt/pepper
• Fritos corn chips
• toppings: shredded sharp cheddar, chives, sour cream

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onions and cook until tender and translucent about five minutes.

Add ground beef and garlic. Break up the ground beef as it cooks through about 8 minutes.

Add the tomato sauce, honey, and spices. Stir and bring to a simmer.  Taste and season as desired. Simmer down to desired thickness.

Make frito pie bowls starting with a frito base, cover in chili, and top with sharp cheddar, a bit of sour cream, and chives.
