Description
Loaded tortilla chips layered with hearty beef chili, creamy queso cheese sauce, sour cream, diced red onion, and jalapeños. Perfect for game day, parties, and family gatherings.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef (93/7)
2 cans chili sauce
1 can kidney chili beans
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 large bag corn tortilla chips
Prepared chili
1 cup queso cheese sauce
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
Instructions
1. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned, about 8–10 minutes.
2. If needed, carefully drain any excess grease from the pan.
3. Stir in the chili sauce, kidney chili beans, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Spread half of the tortilla chips evenly across the baking sheet. Spoon half of the chili over the chips and drizzle with half of the queso cheese sauce.
7. Add the remaining chips, then top with the remaining chili and queso cheese sauce.
8. Bake for 10 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese sauce is warm.
9. Remove from the oven and garnish with sour cream, diced red onion, and sliced jalapeño.
10. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For extra heat, add additional jalapeños or red pepper flakes. Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and crunch.
