Alrighty, it's the weekend, and how 'bout something a little fun? I was perusing my recipe file, and came across this recipe that I've almost forgotten about! Ever since this recession came in, I've tossed my favorite hand written cookbooks aside thinking I can't make much of anything on this budget. But, you, dear reader, have enticed me to look beyond the common means and latch onto more tasty, homemade, thrifty recipes.
This recipe was made often only a short time ago and was a family favorite. On second look, I realized I had most of the ingredients on hand and will make this ultimate feast this weekend. You are going to be in taste bud heaven when these flavors start meshing in your mouth!
2 slices of bacon
1 clove of garlic
I medium onion
1 pd. ground meat
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup canned pinto beans
1/2 pd. shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1 bag of Fritos Corn Chips
In a frypan cook bacon until crisp and remove, let cool, and crumble. Set aside. Add garlic, onion, and meat. Fry until done. Depending on ground beef, drain off some of the fat. Add salt, chili powder, cumin, tomato paste, water, and pinto beans. Cook for 20 minutes allowing flavors to marry. Get a large dish. Place bag of Frito on plate and top with meat mixture. Add cheese on top and serve immediately.
