FRITO PIE CASSEROLE | Easy Recipe with Tex-Mex Flavors

[@stormy8092]

I buy about 5 lbs of ground chuck at a time at the market. I bring it home, brown it, drain it, cool it and then place it in zip lock bags with a date on it to freeze. I never have to brown my ground meat it's already done. A real time saver after work or school and it really does not take a lot of time but it saves a lot of time!!

[@gi8904]

Great idea, I'll have to try this. Thanks for sharing.

[@m.t.6751]

That's a good idea

[@jennifertappan3823]

I made this and added black beans. Delish.

[@marlenejones6266]

Yum yum my favorite bean in the world is black

[@pamelacorriveau6457]

Brilliant idea with the paper towel in the grease I'm going to try that !!!🥓🥔🥐🥘

[@benw9949]

Tip: Ro-Tel Tomatoes and Green Chiles - You can get Mild or Hot, 10oz. cans, and adjust for the degree of hot/spicy caliente you like. (I like it mild, but my mom and great-grandmother were chili-heads.) I like the salsa addition. Some chopped green bell pepper would be nice. -- That meat chopper is a neat tip, getting that. -- This idea, either for the Frito pie or a soup, is really great. It has been so, so long since I fixed Frito pie. (My mom's version, yes, had diced hot dogs and not these ingredients. I like this one.) A small amount (maybe half a cup or a whole cup?) of cooked pinto beans might work too.

[@garybringman9517]

I used chilli seasoning and the chilli fritos. OMG, so good. This one is a keeper. Love the crunch of the fritos.

[@blondangel228]

Finally a cooking channel that I can relate too! I've already made a few of your recipes SOOOO good and easier than most other cooking channels I've seen! Crock pot cheesy potatoes to die for!!

[@CatherinesPlates]

I appreciate your comment so much.

[@jeffiebennett7134]

I made this for our ladies Bible study fellowship. Made it as a soup. Big hit. Ladies loved it.

[@mmahtnart8986]

I grew up (born 1955) eating what my mother called Frito pie/casserole. She did not use ground beef. Everyone seems to use ground beef )-; She used only chili (brick chili), onion, cheese, and of course Fritos.

[@vger9942]

I remember that brick chili. My mother used it too!

[@sunshinegarcia9361]

Yes me too when young I used to make it everyday n the Family started sayn SO What's for Dinner ? And Mom said "Meatloaf" or "Fried Chicken" & then well.i didn't make it anymore cos I made it everyday n always n now way older and Craving it but I USED to make it everyday MOM Taught me to Use the Brick Chile. I don't like the hamburger cos it does have oil. Gets mushy everyday & Used Grated Cheese 😋

[@DebraCaraballo]

I was also born in ‘55. We loved the little Frito pies we got at our one little burger place. They were made in the Frito bag. At home we just used purchased chili, Fritos onion,and cheese.

[@CatherinesPlates]

[@mdolphins4779]

Great looking recipe. For my taco soup, I add hamburger, onions, canned: corn, red kidney beans, diced tomatoes, diced chilies or salsa and 1 can of tomato soup and about 1 soup can of water and taco seasoning. Tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream and chopped onions finish it off. Kids love it because of the tomato soup. Yummy. Btw, I made your taco spaghetti last night and the family loved it. Thank you.

[@tammymcc-n7652]

I grew up on Frito pie (grew up in Missouri). My husband had never heard of it. Now he’s a convert. Love it!

[@CatherinesPlates]

It's one of my favorite tips. Thanks for watching.

[@chrism1164]

I usually spoon the grease off - hadn't thought about using a paper towel - great idea! I watched another recipe video like this - she just mixed the grease in with the meat and onions. yuck!

[@marietamura4534]

I've been doing this for years. Easier on your pipes and to trash. 👍

[@Dottie042]

I do it this way, simple yet great way to eliminate the grease!

[@barkers0609]

I drain the grease like this too!!
