How to cook deliciously - Frito Lasagna

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 325°. In a large Dutch oven or heavy ovenproof pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Generously season ribs with salt and pepper on all sides. Working in batches if needed, cook ribs, turning occasionally, until all sides are thoroughly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

2. Stage

In same pot, cook onions and carrots, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in sauce, broth, and BBQ Sauce and stir to combine, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Return ribs to pot.

3. Stage

Cover pot and and transfer to oven. Bake until meat is tender enough to shred and falling off the bone, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

4. Stage

Let cool slightly. Transfer meat and bones to a cutting board; discard bones and shred meat.

5. Stage

Using an immersion or standard blender, blend vegetable mixture until a smooth sauce forms. Return sauce and meat to pot and mix to combine.

6. Stage

Increase oven temperature to 375°. Generously cover bottom of a large baking dish with some Fritos. Top with half of rib mixture, half of cheddar, half of scallions, then a sparse layer of Fritos. Top with remaining short rib mixture, a sparse layer of Fritos, and remaining cheese.

7. Stage

Bake until cheese is melted and lasagna is slightly set, about 20 minutes. Dollop with sour cream, pickled onions, and remaining scallions.
