THE REAL FRITO PIE

First, let me say that chili for Frito Pie doesn't come from a can. It comes from honest-to-goodness stove top cooked chili using the finest of ingredients. Fresh pinto beans from my family's bean farm in Southern Colorado and from the best chile in the world from Hatch, New Mexico. We like it hot and spicy, but it can be toned...

Steps:

  • 1. Grease your baking dish...I know it sounds silly, but it makes a nice crust on your pie.
  • 2. Bottom is a light layer of crushed corn chips.
  • 3. Spoon on a layer of left over chili.
  • 4. Top with more chips (thicker this time).
  • 5. Top the chips with the rest of the chili.
  • 6. Cover that with the rest of the crushed chips and then another 2 cups of cheese.
  • 7. Bake at 375 for 40 minutes or until cheese is melted and the whole concoction is bubbling.
  • 8. **Making Chili: Sometimes I use beef or moose chunks, most of the time it is ground meat. I ALWAYS include beans, tomatoes, cumin, garlic, onions, red chile puree (Hatch), red chili flakes, and I thicken it with tapioca just like my mom taught me to do. Don't salt the beans before you add to the chili.

10 c leftover chili
1 bag(s) fritos corn chips, rough crush
5 c mexican cheese (a blend of cheddar and monterey jack)

FRITO PIE

Living in the south you find these at football games, Sonic Drive Inn, and just about any fair that you attend. Very tasty and even better with a squirt of mustard.

GENUINE FRITO PIE

Growing up in the 50's in the south, Frito Pie could be found at every drive-in, ballpark and greasy spoon cafe. It isn't put in a casserole, it isn't baked in the oven. It's eaten right out of the Frito package with a plastic spoon. The greasier the chili, the better the Frito Pie.
