How to Make Hormel Beanless Chili Copycat
- Brown 1 lb ground beef with 2 tablespoons bacon grease in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drain off excess grease, reserving 2 tablespoons.
- In a 2-quart mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons flour until smooth.
- Whisk in 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce until fully combined.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Mix well.
- Pour the water mixture into the Dutch oven with the browned ground beef.
- Stir in 1 cup crushed Fritos corn chips.
- Bring the chili to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring well and scraping the bottom of the pot every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
- For a smoother chili, carefully use an immersion blender to partially blend the chili to your desired consistency.
- Serve hot over hot dogs, hamburgers, polenta, grits, or your favorite toppings.
