Chance Shirley's Frito's and Meatless Chili

Laura: Front desk guy assured me that BBQ Fritos are better than the original and you know? He's not wrong.

Chance Even better: plain Fritos covered in chili!

1. Brown 1 pkg (12 oz) Litelife Smart Ground -
2. Add half of the chili kit ingredients (minus salt and flour) (save other half for next time) -
3. Add 4 oz tomato sauce
4. Add 8 oz water
5. Mix well, then simmer low for 15 min

This serves about six. What I do is freeze the other five servings in little tupperware things. Then I can reheat a single serving (thaw, put it in skillet with water, cook off the water) later.

The fake meat is super dry, so spray Pam on your pan before you brown it. And I like to stir in a little olive oil to simulate grease.

It took some trial and error to get it right. But for my primitive palate, the above ratios work well. (I also add in some random extra spices just ’cause I like it super spicy.)

Oh... serve the fake meat chili over Fritos with a little bit of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

Drew: I'm not so much with the super-hot. But Wick Fowler does make a kit for wimps.
