Texas Frito Pie

Texas Frito Pie
Lorena Downey

1 bag Fritos corn chips
1 chopped onion
grated cheddar cheese
3 or more cups chili (your favorite – homemade or canned)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Spread Fritos in the bottom of a baking dish. Sprinkle half the onion and half the cheese over the Fritos. Pour the chili over the onion and cheese. Sprinkle the remaining Fritos, onion and cheese over the chili. Bake for 15 or 20 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Serve hot.

Variations: You can make a faster version by simply putting frito’s in a bowl, top with hot chili, then cheese and onions. (In Texas at football games they serve it in the frito bag. They cut open one “side” of a single serving bag of frito’s pour in the chili, cheese, and onions.)

Oops, I almost forgot a dollop of sour cream makes this perfect!
