In this video, Betty makes the original Fritos Chili Pie Casserole for her family. The recipe originated either with the Frito-Lay Company or Sonic Drive-In Restaurants, where it was once served. If you like chili, cheese, and Fritos, youll *love* this recipe! Ingredients: 3 cups Fritos corn chips 1/2 large sweet onion, chopped (Note: I used 1 whole large onion in my video, but I think most people will like this recipe better with 1/4 to 1/2 onion, chopped—unless you *really* love onions!) 15 oz. can chili (either with beans or no beans) 1 cup grated American cheese (I used Velveeta.) Place 2 cups of Fritos corn chips in a baking dish. Arrange chopped onion and half of the grated cheese on corn chips. Pour chili over onion and cheese. Top with remaining corn chips and grated cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and corn chips on top are beginning to brown. Serve immediately. This is a great dish for kids!!! To give you an idea of how widespread this recipe is, here are a couple of link to the very same recipe that I demonstrated: www.cooks.com and recipes.chef2chef.net Enjoy! BG

She’s a character on “King of the Hill.” To sound like Luann is not great!

Wow, that was simple enough that a “non-cooker” such as myself can make something like that for a gathering… Thank you for taking the time to post!

Doritos would be great! Any kind of crisp corn chip will be fine! Thanks for asking!

I was wondering if I could use some other chip like Doritos because I live in Scotland and I don’t think we get fritos over here.
