Frito Pie

 How many times over the years have Robert, Holly, or Trevor texted me, asking for the Frito Pie recipe? (A lot.) Until now, I've had to find a link to an obscure Sunset Magazine page, but that changes today!

SUNSET MAGAZINE FAMOUS FRITO PIE RECIPE

2 lbs. ground beef
1 T. garlic powder
1 t. salt
2 T. flour
15 oz. can of black (or kidney) beans, drained, rinsed
3 T. chile powder
------
Fritos (Chili Cheese, please!)
finely diced onion
shredded cheddar cheese
shredded lettuce
diced tomato
and sour cream!

In a fry pan over medium high heat, stir ground beef, garlic powder, and salt until beef is crumbly and browned, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle flour over cooked meat and stir in well, so the flour absorbs the fat. Add 2 cups of water, beans, and chile powder. Stir and cook until mixture boils and thickens, about another 8 minutes.

Lay out Fritos in a bowl, top with meat mixture and your preferred toppings.

Serves 6-8.
