My Mom s Baja Burger

2 pounds ground beef

1 cup corn chips (such as Fritos®, crushed

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce

½ onion, chopped

½ teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

8 (6 inch) French bread rolls, split in half lengthwise

Mix the ground beef and crushed corn chips; form into 8 oblong patties; season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, onion, garlic salt, and chili powder.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the patties in the hot skillet 4 to 5 minutes; flip and cook an additional 4 minutes. Pour the tomato sauce mixture into the skillet as the burgers finish cooking; simmer for another 4 to 5 minutes. Top each burger with Cheddar cheese and allow to melt. Place burgers on bread and ladle sauce on the patties before closing each sandwich.
