Chili- Similar to Gaine's chili

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 large white onion, finely chopped

2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)

Salt and pepper

2 10ounce cans mild diced tomatoes and green chiles such as Rotel

2 26ounce cans Southwestern-style beans - Ranch Style Brand

1 10.25 ounce bag Fritos

2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

In a large soup pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and saute until translucent and tender, about 8 minutes. 

Add the beef and a couple of pinches each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring often to break up the meat, until it loses its pink color 6-7 minutes

Stir in the tomatoes and beans with their juice. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and simmer stirring occasionally for 30 min. Taste and adjust the seasoning. 

Ladle the chili into bowls and server topped with fritos and cheese

Store leftovers in a container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
