FRITO PIE IN A BAG

Steps:

• Start by browning 16 ounces of chopped stew beef and 16 ounces ground beef. It's easiest to do this in batches. Once browned, drain the fat and set aside.
• Next, add 1 Tbs oil to a large pot over medium high heat and add in 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper and ½ a red onion, all diced. Sauté until softened, then add in ¼ tsp Lawry's seasoned salt, 1 T paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 T chile powder, 1 tsp oregano, ½ tsp ground coriander, ¼ tsp ground black pepper and 1 tsp ground cumin. Mix the veggies and the spices together until combined. Turn down the heat to medium low and cover the pot, letting the spices seep into the veggies for 5 minutes.
• Then, add in ¼ cup of peanut butter, 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, 7 ounces diced green chiles, 6 ounces tomato paste, 3 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt. Stir to mix, then crank up the heat to medium high and replace the lid until the soup comes to a slow boil.Let it sit at least an hour, simmering away, letting the flavors intensify and the beef soften. Certainly feel free to leave this simmering all day, though. I left mine for 8 hours on this rendition and by dinner time, it was complex, dark and the beef was fork tender.
• Be sure to add salt as it's needed throughout the cooking process. Be sure to taste it and if it needs extra salt, please add!
• Serve this up in a bag of single serve Fritos, topped with shredded cheese and scallions.

SHEET PAN FRITO PIE

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add three-fourths of the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the jalapeño and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and the vegetables are just starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Add the beef and a generous pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon or potato masher, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chili powder and cumin and cook until fragrant and the meat is coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the strained tomatoes, chicken broth and beans. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the beans and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• While the chili simmers, shred the cheese and prepare your desired toppings.
• Position the oven rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler to high. Spread the Fritos on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spoon the chili evenly over the chips, then sprinkle the cheese on top. Broil for 1 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling. Top with the remaining diced onion and your choice of toppings.
