Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Frito Pie Sloppy Joes

[heart_this] · Jun 24, 2021 · 2 Comments

Frito Pie Sloppy Joes

Chili sloppy joes with crunchy corn chips and cheddar cheese!

I always enjoy a nice sandwich and sloppy joes are top on my list! These frito pie inspired sloppy joe’s are a simple beef and bean chili served in buns with shredded cheddar cheese and corn chips! To keep things easy I like to make the chili the day before and then I simply reheat it, slap it into some buns and they’re good to go in only a few minutes! I sometimes like to jazz these sandwiches up with pickled jalapenos or coleslaw and serve them with a side of potato salad or pasta salad!

Chili sloppy joes with crunchy corn chips and cheddar cheese!

ingredients
    For the chili:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans red kidney beans (or black beans or pinto beans)
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • For the sloppy joes:
  • 8 buns
  • 2 cups corn chips
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
directions
    For the chili:
  1. Cook the beef and onion in a large saucepan, breaking the beef apart with a spoon, until the beef is cooked through before draining any excess grease.
  2. Add the garlic, chili powders, cumin, and paprika and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
  3. Add the tomatoes, beans, oregano, worcestershire sauce, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes (to 2+ hours), covered, before seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. For the sloppy joes:
  5. Spread the chili over the bottom of a 13×9 inch pan, sprinkle on the corn chips followed by the cheese and broil in a preheated oven until the cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes.
Tip: Make the chili the day before!
Tip: Cook off any excess liquid in the chili if you want a slightly less sloppy, sloppy joe!
Option: Garnish with sour cream, jalapeno slices, green onions, coleslaw, blue cheese coleslaw etc.
