I recently found this video recipe tutorial for Frito pie by For Us Foodies, on YouTube, and it brought back so many childhood memories. We used to eat Frito pie at school once a month and I always looked forward to it. The lunchroom ladies would always serve it in the actual Frito bag covered in chili and cheese, and it was so delicious. This recipe is very similar to the Frito pie that I ate all those years ago but is made on individual oven-proof dishes. It is perfect for a family meal because everyone has their own individual dishes. You can modify this recipe by using a can of chili, if you are in a pinch, it will still be delicious.

Ingredients For Frito Pie:

• 2 teaspoons of olive oil
• 1/3 cup of onions (chopped)
• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 pack of taco seasoning
• 2 tablespoons of chili powder
• 1 can of black beans (drained)
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1/2 cup of green onions (chopped)

Directions:

In this video recipe tutorial for Frito pie by For Us Foodies, on YouTube, you will learn how to make this wonderful dish in a few easy steps.  You start by making your chili mixture using onions, ground beef, taco seasoning, black beans, and water. 

Then, you will spoon the chili onto individual ovenproof dishes and cover with cheese and Fritos, then bake for 20 minutes at 350°F.

This recipe is super easy, and quick to make. You can always make the Frito pie in a casserole dish as well.
