Genuine Frito Pie
"Growing up in the 50's in the south, Frito Pie could be found at every drive-in, ballpark and greasy spoon cafe. It isn't put in a casserole, it isn't baked in the oven. It's eaten right out of the Frito package with a plastic spoon. The greasier the chili, the better the Frito Pie."

Right on Sandy!!!!!!!!!I see you are in Houston,very close to my home town. I skip mustard and use sour cream.Great comfort food for me.Thanks! -
Always a hit with my family! I've been using this recipe for a while now, but I omit the mustard. We use canned Wolf brand chili - no beans. This is great to serve for a teens party or for a sporting event, such as a Super Bowl party. Thanks Sandy for posting! -
My family loves this recipe...we leave out the mustard due to our taste buds...easy clean up too!
