Frito Chili Pie Recipe

Okay, I hope you saved some of that black bean chili from the yesterday.
Because here is what we are going to do with it. We’re making this Frito Chili Pie. Frito Chili Pie is one of those classic recipes that can be thrown together in minutes, if you have all of the ingredients on hand – Fritos, chili, cheese, and sour cream.
It is perfect for a quick-fix weeknight supper and my family loves it when we’re rushing from here to there and just need a quick, hearty, delicious supper.
You start with a layer of Fritos chips on the bottom of an oven safe dish. Then, you layer on the chili and a mixture of cheeses. I like to use a blend of half cheddar cheese, for the flavor, and half Monterey Jack cheese, for the melting, stringy cheese goodness.
See, that blend of cheese is just perfect.
Here’s the recipe for my Frito Chili Pie. Hope you like it!

You can never go wrong with fritos! Looks so yum!
I only had Frito pie for the first time this year. Shameful, I know. And now, I crave it um, far too often. Yours looks delish!
I’ve never had Frito pie before but it looks like I’m going to need to try it. Holy cowabunga, it looks delicious!
You know, this is going to sound crazy, but I’ve never eaten a frito pie that wasn’t served in the Frito bag! Yours looks so homey and dare I say elegant? 🙂
This is perfect comfort food! Love it!
This looks delicious! I needed another excuse to make chili.
You HAD to mention Fritos before my grocery trip huh? It’s your fault if I eat the whole bag 😉
Love this! Total comfort food.
Even at 7:37 am this looks sooooo good! Will be a great recipe for your quick chili leftovers (2 quick meals)! Already pinned and waiting. Thanks…..
