- In a large skillet, brown and crumble the ground beef with the diced onions over medium-high heat.
- Continue cooking until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Drain any excess fat.

- Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Spread half of the crushed Fritos at the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish.
- Layer half of the chili mixture evenly over the Fritos, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese. Repeat these layers.
- Cover the dish with nonstick foil (sprayed with cooking spray) and bake for 20-30 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the top is golden.
- Serve hot, topped with sour cream and sliced scallions.
