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:

  1. Preheat and layer: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grab a baking dish. Spread half the Fritos chips across the bottom.

  2. Chili time: Pour your favorite canned chili (or homemade chili!) evenly over the Frito layer.

  3. Cheese blanket: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chili.

  4. Frito finish: Scatter the remaining Fritos over the cheese for that signature crunch.

  5. Bake it melty: Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  6. Cool down: Take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes (it’s hot!).

  7. Top it off: Serve hot and customize with toppings like diced red onions, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, and even diced avocado for an extra treat!
