Frito Pie
This simple and quick weeknight meal is delicious and filling!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- ½ pound ground beef
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp onion soup mix
- ¼ tsp garlic salt
- ¼ tsp Extra Spicy Mrs. Dash seasoning
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies, such as Rotel
- 2 cans chili beans, such as Ranch beans
- ½ cup shredded cheese
- 1 bag Fritos corn chips, or regular tortilla chips
- shredded cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, etc. for toppings
Instructions
- In a 3 quart saucepan, brown the hamburger meat with the taco seasoning, onion soup mix, garlic salt, and Spicy Mrs. Dash. Cook at medium heat until the meat is no longer pink.
- Drain the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and add the contents to the hamburger meat. Allow the tomatoes to cook with the hamburger meat for a few minutes.
- Add the two cans of beans to the mixture. Stir well and cook for another few minutes, or until the beans begin to heat up.
- Add ½ cup of shredded cheese, and stir well.
- Turn the heat down to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir several times. (If it becomes too thick, add a little water to thin it out.)
- Serve the Frito Pie on top of chips. Then top with any desired toppings.
Notes
- To add more spice to the dish, consider adding more taco seasoning, diced green chilies, or red chile sauce to the Frito Pie mixture.
