Binging with Babish: King of the Hill Special

Peggy Hill is many things: she's a mother. A boggle champ. A substitute teacher (substitute teacher of the year twice, in fact). A sculptor. A foot fetish model. A kidnapper. A survivor of a fall from 13,000 feet without a parachute. The mother of the 15th Dalai Lama. She is by her own admission, however, not a very good cook. Will her specialty dishes make it into the clean plate club?

it has been 4 years and we're still making that apple brown betty.

You are 100% correct it is a forgiving recipe and thank you so so so much for uploading this Babish! ❤

[@PhantomSavage]

From a Texan: When you make apple brown bettie, don't use regular bread crumbs, use yellow cake mix, and don't be afraid to use pre-made canned pie fillings... apple is great but my favorite is probably blackberry and my second favorite is probably peach (with Fredricksburg peaches), and don't feel bad about spending the extra dollar to buy quality vanilla ice cream over standard fare. Cake mix makes all the difference in the world, and you actually don't even need to use the brown sugar mixture if you do, it has plenty of sugar in it already as does the filling if you make it yourself or use pre-made fillings. By far my favorite desert in the world, though we don't call it apple brown bettie, we call it a "crunch".

[@joewalmsley6167]

PhantomSavage Stupid question but is that the cake mix powder instead of the breadcrumbs or the mix with the milk and eggs?

[@Rocker42070]

Never thought I'd see you here.

[@PhantomSavage]

Yeah, just use the cake mix itself, don't mix it with egg and milk. Moisture from the filling is enough to keep it from burning too bad and it also crisps up nice in the oven on top.

[@PhantomSavage]

Babish is one of my favorite cooking channels ;D

Peggy Hill wouldn't use American cheese on Frito Pie. If Hank's favorite is Pepperjack, she would have used that. If she were to use the default cheese used, she would have used Cheddar, or possibly Colby. They're Texans. Texan's default cheese for Frito Pie is usually Cheddar. Some people use the big bags of pre-shredded "Mexican Style" cheeses, but nobody but broke college kids and stoners melt American cheese food product slices over their Frito Pie.

Peggy is from Montana, not Texas, and refuses to admit she's wrong. If she made it "perfect", that would be by her own standards, not Hank's. Just as she refused to use REAL butter on her Brown Betty, she would have refused to use anything but American on her Frito Pie. Babish got it right.

[@tyrone5619]

DouglAsshat but there was never a sign that she uses American cheese. I doubt she used Hanks favorite since she does things her way. But she probably got the recipe from an old cookbook. I can guarantee it said cheddar or Mexican blend. The only way she would use American is if she would try to put her own take on the recipe. But at the same time she never acts like hers is different and no one ever calls her out for it being different. I say Babish made a error

Funny thing is I am a Texan, and the only thing he did, that I have any complaints about, is how long he cooked the spaghetti sauce. My family has their own recipe for the sauce, and we cook it for a minimum of 6 hours, on medium low heat.

[@1216shadow]

I say minimum of 6 hours, due to that bringing out more flavor, from the sauce overall. Remember, the longer you cook it, the more flavor you get. Also an easy way to cut the acidity of the tomatoes, is to add boiled eggs to the sauce, it'll soak up the acidity, while having next to no effect on the flavor.

[@JonathanReichel]

All of this is so true

[@mattmarkham9117]

Yeah, but you'd be surprised how hard it can be to find it without beans when you're not in the south. I moved from Texas to California, and the only place I can find it is in the super Walmart here. All the other supermarkets only have the kind with beans, if they have it at all.

[@ilznidiotic]

Came to say this about the beans. "With beans" is on the shelf, here- it exists, but I have no idea who buys it.

[@MultiRedneckGamer]

Texan here can’t say I’ve ever seen a frito chilli pie made the way babish did. Usually you just take your Fritos (crush them in your hands) put some in the bottom of your bowl with some pre shredded cheddar cheese scoop chilli into said bowl top with more Fritos (again crushed with your hands) and cheese mix together and enjoy. Guess them yuppies take it literally when it says “pie” bless yalls hearts 😂😂

[@Vinnero0]

I know there are allot of recipes online for Frito pie that does it basically that way but how I have ever seen it done in my 50 years, born and raised in Texas, is you build it bowl by bowl. Fritos, chili, then shredded cheese and maybe sour crème.

[@JuiceJive]

I'm pretty sure the whole idea of a Frito chili pie is that you only need a crock pot to heat the chili with, no oven required. It's a concession stand staple down here: Pop open the back of a bag of Fritos (or put them in a little paper boat if you're working with big bags). Ladle on the chili (no beans), and sprinkle on some shredded cheddar, and/or ladle on some Ricos Nacho Cheese Sauce. And the customer can usually throw on a scoop of diced onion or jalapeno slices. Perfect for sitting in the bleachers at a football game on a windy Friday night in late October.

[@RowantarotBlogspot]

Where I'm from the frito chili pie is baked in the oven, you put the fritos on bottom, pour the chili on top, top with shredded sharp cheddar and bake. BUT, better than frito pie is Rotel chicken. I totally forgot about that recipe until I was typing this! I bet we had Rotel chicken once a week when I was a kid.

Slices of cheddar for the middle layer, shredded cheddar and pepperjack blend for the top layer is the best Frito pie.

[@TheBubyChris]

Three egregious mistakes that were made: 1. Chili never has beans, especially in Texas 2. No American cheese on frito pie, shredded cheddar, Mexican blend, or queso only. 3. You don’t bake frito pie. You simply put Fritos in a bowl cover with chili and cheese.

I try not to be, but yeah... I'll admit I was triggered by the frito pie. It is usually just piled on and the cheese gets melted by the chili... And everyone knows that the best ones are simply served in the bag. Take an individual sized bag of fritos, cut it open along the side, spoon in the chili, top with shredded cheese. That's it.
