My nana used to make this all the time, and I finally found a recipe that trumps hers!

Craving a cheesy, crunchy, and flavorful dish? Look no further than Frito Pie! This quick and easy recipe uses layers of Fritos chips, your favorite chili, and melty cheddar cheese for a satisfying and delicious meal. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner and can be customized with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients:

Ingredient	Quantity
Fritos corn chips	1 large bag
canned chili (15 oz)	2 cans
shredded cheddar cheese	2 cups
diced red onions	1/2 cup
sliced jalapeños	1/2 cup
sour cream	for serving
diced avocado	for serving (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat and layer: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a baking dish. Spread half the Fritos chips across the bottom.
Chili time: Pour your favorite canned chili (or homemade chili!) evenly over the Frito layer.
Cheese blanket: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili.
Frito finish: Scatter the remaining Fritos over the cheese for that signature crunch.
Bake it melty: Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
