SOUTHWEST FRITO PIE
found this recipe in TOH Magazine, by Janet Scoggins, and I am posting for safe keeping, as I want to try it out for our football snacking time.

- 1. In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the chili powder, flour, salt and garlic powder until blended; gradually stir in water.
- 2. Add the beans, if desired. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- 3. To serve, divide chips among six serving bowls(or use smaller individual size Frito bags). Top with beef mixture, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and onion; garnish with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-made chili or taco seasoning.
- Feel free to add other toppings of your choice, such as diced avocado, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet over medium heat.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, or the potatoes will not cook evenly.
- If you want a crispier crust on the potatoes, cook them for a few minutes longer.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor.
