Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans for a more flavorful chili. Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • To make the Frito pie ahead of time, assemble the casserole and then cover it and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, bake it according to the recipe instructions.
  • Frito pie is a great way to use up leftover chili. If you have a pot of chili in the fridge, simply reheat it and then use it to make Frito pie.
  • For a vegetarian Frito pie, use vegetable broth instead of beef broth and omit the ground beef. You can also add vegetables like corn, bell peppers, and zucchini to the chili.

Conclusion:

Frito pie is a delicious and easy-to-make comfort food that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chili. With its simple ingredients and customizable toppings, Frito pie is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
