I love making this Frito Pie Casserole for my family, and it’s even great to take to pot-lucks and reunions, too. If you’ve ever seen those popular, walking tacos, then this is like the jumbo-sized version of that. Who doesn’t love Frito’s, right? There is so much gooey cheese melted in the filling too.

To be honest, I’ll probably never be satisfied with a regular taco or Mexican casserole ever again. I’m so happy my best friend let me nab this recipe off her hands because it’s now part of my mid-week dinner arsenal. I’m happy to share it with all of you too!

 

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 can (16 oz) chili beans (do not drain)
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (drained)
1 envelope low sodium taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (2% fat kind)
3 1/2 cups corn chips (Fritos)
1 1/4 cup fat free sour cream

Directions:

Cook ground beef until meat is browned; drain. Stir in beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning mix and 1/4 c. of cheese. Sprinkle 1 cup corn chips in bottom of 8×8 baking dish. Cover with chili. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Spread sour cream over chili. Top with remaining corn chips and cheese. Bake 4-5 minutes longer.
