Frito Pie

I have heard of Frito Pie for a long time and finally decided to find a recipe and try it.  It was really delicious.  It is very similar to a recipe I've made for many years called Enchilada Casserole.  Ken liked this better, but I'm loyal to my old standby.  Both are delicious.

Frito Pie

1 lb. ground beef

 1 onion, chopped

1 packet taco seasoning

1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes with chilis)

1 can ranch style beans or pinto beans

1 can corn, drained

1 package fritos

Grated cheese

Brown the ground beef and onion together.  Mix in the taco seasoning and mix well.  Put in the Rotel, beans, and corn.  Combine and heat in the skillet. 

In a casserole dish, put in about 3/4 of the bag of fritos.  Add the meat mixture, then top with plenty of grated cheese. 

 Serve with any or all of the following toppings:

The rest of the Fritos

Sour cream

Lettuce

Olives

Avocado, diced or made into guacamole

diced fresh tomatoes

We used all of the optional toppings.  It was delicious.
