Frito Casserole
Frito Casserole
I found this recipe while looking for dishes to make with canned chili, and this is perfect! This is also known as Frito Pie and Frito Pie Casserole. Three ingredients and about 20 minutes of your time and you can have a great dish.
Equipment
- Casserole (2 quart)
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cans chili with beans, (15oz / 425g)
- 4 cups Fritos chips, divided
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- sour cream, for topping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F), lightly butter a 2 quart casserole dish.
- Add 2 cups of the Frito chips to the bottom of the casserole.
- Pour the chili over the chips and spread out evenly.
- Sprinkle the rest of the chips over the chili.
- Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chili is bubbly on the sides of the casserole. Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes.
- Serve, and optionally top servings with a big dollop of sour cream, enjoy.
Notes
The most expensive item in this casserole is the Frito chips, so this is a high cost meal but an excellent one in a while meal.
