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. 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) Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 2 cups of Fritos in a baking dish. Sprinkle half the onion and half the cheese over the Fritos. Pour the chili over the onion and cheese. Sprinkle the remaining Fritos, onion and cheese over the chili.
Bake for 15 or 20 minutes and cheese is bubbly. Serve hot.
trying not to eat this late....but sounds so good...I make a little differn't version...I just don't cook it all together...but I will have to try it that way...
