These Texas straw hats are such a fun dinner idea. It's crunchy corn chips with a tomato-beef chili on top broiled with melted, bubbly cheese, all on a sheet pan.

Instructions

1

Add ground beef, onion, and green bell pepper to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned and crumbled and vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
2

Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, taco seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
3
|
Preheat broiler to High, and place an oven rack about 6 inches away from the heat source.
4
|
Spread corn chips in a single layer on a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Spoon beef mixture evenly over the chips, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped chives. Recipe developed by Jaelyn Luong

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chip Base Perfection 🌽
    Arrange Fritos in a single, slightly overlapping layer on the sheet pan to create the perfect crispy base that won't get soggy under the meat mixture.
  • Cheese Melting Technique 🧀
    For ultimate cheese melt, remove the dish from the oven when cheese is 80% melted and let residual heat complete the final browning for a perfectly bubbly top.
  • Flavor Depth Secret 🌶️
    Toast the taco seasoning in the pan with the ground beef for 30-45 seconds before adding liquid to enhance and bloom the spice flavors.
  • Tomato Paste Caramelization 🍅
    Cook the tomato paste for 2-3 minutes before adding other liquids to develop a deeper, more concentrated tomato flavor and reduce any metallic undertones.
  • Moisture Control Hack 💦
    If the meat mixture seems too liquidy, let it simmer uncovered to reduce and concentrate flavors, creating a perfect topping consistency for the chips.
