Frito Chili Pie

A great quick meal that was a favorite in my family when I was growing up and that my kids love too! Recipe has been adjusted to 2 cans of chili as suggested by reviewers. I normally use one and don't use the entire bag of fritos. You can adjust the chili to frito ratio to your taste. More chili is always good.

    Frito Chili Pie has been one of my favorites for years. The tamales add a nice addition to regular Frito Chili Pie. Quick and easy. Thanks islandgirl77551. Bullwinkle.

    Another simple dinner for busy (or lazy) nights! I used frozen tamales (thawed in the microwave and corn husks removed) and increased the chili to 2 cans. I was craving some comfort food, and this hit the spot. We served it up with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and onions, sour cream and Spicy Guacamole (Spicy Guacamole). Mmmm. Thanks for posting.

    I really hoped my family would like this but was disappointed with the results. I followed the recipe exactly but the top layer was very dried out. It certainly was easy to prepare. I'm sorry it didn't work for us.
