Frito Pie
This was a real favorite when I was a kid (yes, they had Fritos back then), and it still is. With the Frito-Lay Company being based in Dallas, this dish is about as Texan as you can get.
The recipe, as written here, is perfect for a 9x9-inch dish. But for a crowd or, even better, tailgating, double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13-inch dish. Cover the hot dish well with aluminum foil to keep it warm or use an insulated carrier. Perfect for game day and a Super Bowl crowd, too!
- 3 cups Fritos corn chips
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2-1/2 cups chili (your favorite -- homemade, canned, whatever)
