Cooking Games – Frito Pie


Long a cold weather favorite, Frito Pie, or chili pie in some areas, is extremely easy to make and mighty tasty on a snowy or rainy day. To make Frito Pie, you’ll need:

  • Fritos Chips
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Chili
  • Onions
  • Jalapeños

Start by dicing the onions into tiny pieces. You want a bit of flavor, not texture in your dish, so make them extra small. Always use the knife carefully, of course.

Put the onions aside and pull out the Fritos. Pour the Fritos into a casserole dish. Open the can of chili and pour it over the Fritos being sure to cover them completely. Throw in a handful of onions over the chili before coating the concoction with shredded cheddar cheese. If you like the taste of the jalapeños, you can add them on top – but if you don’t like hot things, simply leave them off.

Bake your Frito pie in the oven for about fifteen minutes to heat the chili and melt the cheese. Remove it from the oven and serve it up in bowls or plates – enjoy this hot, yummy treat as often as you want!
