Girl ty I was highly offended that is NOT how frito pie is made in tx just call it frito pie please with respect I agree do not associate that with us please!
I was born and raised in Texas. I have lived here my whole life, and I have never seen frito pie made like this. It looks really good, but I wouldn't call it a Texas dish. Also, it is pronounced quesa-dee-ya.
As a Texan, I never had frito pie like this anywhere in Texas. This frito pie is from where people have names like Hunter, Preston, Bryce, Chase, Brent, Thad, Biff, Skip, Blaine, Buffy, Muffy, Bitsy, Heather, Brooke, Blair, and Summer.
This is something I’ve always wanted to make from a professional frito pie Texan when do you add chili ? In the middle or on the frito chips ? Please help a yankee from PA who was stationed in Sam Houston tx for 5 yrs and I love Texas ! And miss it everyday ! Thank you Marc ( EL PADRE )
@@ELPADREAIRBRUSH It is best to make home made chili, but canned chili will work. You make the frito pie per serving. In other words, keep everything separate until right before it is eaten. You do not want your fritos getting soggy. Soggy fritos are gross. Best to use real cheddar cheese, too. Not some liquid crap from a can.
@@darcydeming8565 Texan born and raised, here. If it does not have chili and corn chips, it is not a frito pie. Cheese, onion, and jalapenos are optional toppings, but cheese is almost always served on top unless someone just happens to not like it or you just ran out of cheese.
I have lived in Texas my entire life and have never heard of frito pie made with enchilada sauce. I have only heard of it made with chili. I don't even use enchilada sauce when making enchiladas, it's chili all the way around here.
I know right. You should read the comments from highly offended Italian people. You have to translate to English. The Italian get crunk like us Texans. 😹😹😹
As someone who grew up eating Frito Chili Pie, I can tell you that you just put about $12 or more of Fritos in there and they will come out a soggy mess.
@@deef8974 is that disgusting or what? Frito-Lay ain't playing around. They know we'll pay, that's why they have the smallest bag of chips in the store at the same price or more than a Family Size of anything else 🤷🏻♂️
i think what makes it Texan is the enchilada sauce and the fritos. Mexico borders Texas so Texas has a lot of mexican inspired tastes. The fritos are made from corn like corn tortillas.
I was born in Pittsburgh PA and moved to TX with my family in the late 60's. I grew up eating Frito Pie and this isn't it! My uncle actually owns and operates 1 of the best restaurants in my hometown in PA, serving everything from finger foods to steak and lobster dishes, he serves a traditional Frito pie for football games and this is not it. I think you need to rethink this recipe because that enchilada sauce just ruined your $15 worth of Fritos turning them into moosh. Also, BTW it's pronounced Kay-sah-dee-ah you don't say the LL's the same way you do in Armadillo! LOL
That’s a good man right there. Lied straight to her face with that “I’m looking forward to it!” Gave her a thumbs up though for the cooking for her family. Long as they like it, that’s all that matters.
Central Texas, South Texas, even the folks in East Texas take a small bag of Fritos, cut the bag along the side, pour chili (alnost doesn't matter what brand...almost) in the bag, top with melted government cheese and pickled jalapenos. Plastic spoon. That's the recipe at every Texas high school concession stand. Good try Elaine, but Texans feel some kinda way about our Frito pie.
I’m a native Texan and I’ve never seen or eaten this dish. We do make frito pie-just not like this. This is more of a dump and go casserole…I guess. 🤔 It defeats the purpose of having crunchy food if you’re going to lay all the other ingredients on top and make it soggy. Why not serve the chips on the side and call it a layered dip?🤷🏽♀️ Real cheeses, seasoned ground beef, and jalapeños definitely would’ve given this dish more flavor. Great idea for a layered dip with some recipe modifications. I like all the ingredients, just not the quality or the way they were used. Thanks for the inspiration.😊👏🏼👍🏼
@@dannab3660 The Fritos eventually soak up all the sauce she poured over them if the dish sits there any length of time. That’s why I suggested that they be served on the side. Then it could be called a layered dip.
I'm a Texas boy 40yrs and counting but I've never seen Frito pie made this way. Now though, oh but now, you know I got to try it. Frito enchiladas it's on.
@@claireburling8547 I make mine the same way using canned pinto beans. Heat up a good amount of bacon grease (not for the faint of heart) in a cast iron or ovenproof skillet, dump in drained pinto beans (reserve juice) and mash with a potato masher…add enough reserved bean juice to thin out your beans to desired consistency. I like mine nice and creamy…stir in one can drained and rinsed black beans (optional) for added texture and color (do not mash) then top with grated cheese, some pico or chopped onions, tomatoes and jalapeños and pop in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted and beans are warm.
They do. But not like this. The way I've always made it, & seen it made, was 1st preheating the oven to 350° F. Then heat up some canned chili, with beans, in a sauce pan or dutch oven on the stove. Add/mix in, a can of diced tomatoes to the chili. If you like it really spicy, you can add a can of Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies in place of the simple diced tomatoes. The Rotel Tomatoes come in Original & Mild. I can't handle spicy foods, so the Original Rotel is too spicy for me. If I use it, I have to purchase the Mild version. Pour the Fritos into a baking pan. I usually use a 13×9 glass casserole baking pan. Pour or ladle the chili all over the Fritos. If you like onions, sprinkle chopped onions all over the dish. Add sliced jalapenos with some of the juice, if you want. Then sprinkle a generous amount of your choice of grated cheese all over the top. Then place in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Take it out. Dish it up into individual bowls. Top with Sour Cream.
@@iampatricemeeks9512 BBQ is Kansas City, Biscuit and gravy is from the old south, and that slop they are making is Mexican, so I guess that leaves Texas out
I was thinking that right off the bat when she poured can after can of ingredients that is coming from god know where now a days. No real Texan in their right mind would use anything canned. Lol
I'm from Texas born and raised. And half Mexican And I've never seen a Frito pie like this. But technically you can do it how you want but I prefer no frijoles
That is definitely not a Texas frito pie lol but is a good recipe. I would have added the enchilada sauce at the end to soak down through the layers or mixed it with the meat and I would have added two more cans of the cheese sauce I will be making this but I can’t call it frito pie as that is made with Texas chili onions and cheese on top of the Fritos no beans. Everyone would be expecting the traditional frito pie and get a surprise for sure but looks delicious and thanks for a great recipe ❤❤❤❤❤
Is this supposed to be a chilli pie? I've lived in Texas for 40 years and been to a lot of chow down multi-generational potluck dinners as well as competition chilli cookoffs and BBQs, and have yet to see anyone make this recipe. I mean, it seems fine and might be delicious, but not sure it's Texan outside of her family. Everybody has their own favorites.
This recipe and others have been around for years. Corn chips and Doritos have been making casseroles for 40 years. Texas isn't any different in this regard.
This is a Mexican dish or a Tex- Mexican dish. Thats been the label of non- traditional -Mexican cooking for years. It shouldn't bother you. I admit, your comment shouldn't have bothered me as much either. Have a wonderful Easter.
Did I say this bothered me? Did I detract the recipe in any way?? I asked a question and made an observation based on my personal experience. That is all.
My stepdad was a proud Texan and introduced us to frito pie early on, this would disappoint him so much 😮😂 according to him you have to eat it in the bag the fritos come in, just add the chili and other topping to the bag and Tada!Im not from texas but I'm inclined to agree with him.
@sherriforeman8953 for a group it's simple, do a buffet line. You get a box of mini frito bags, a crockpot or 2 of chili, and all your other toppings you want on the table. Then just have everybody go down the line filling up their bag. We've done it before, so.....
Been in Texas all my life and i gotta say our frito pie is nothing like that, but the one that was made here i would definitely try it if it was in front of me on a table
I’m 52 years Texan… this looks really good. Frito pie is made with chilli cheese onions and jalapeños… this is Texas Frito enchilada pie. I love’m both
I'm Texas born an raised all my life. I never heard or seen anyone from Houston , Texas make their own beans, plus the Frito Pies would normally stay in the bag and add some cooked Wolf Chill to the Fritos would be the Frito Pie. She made a nice Frito Pie dish with more ingredients to give it more taste.
Mam, Don’t say y’all, It’s an insult to Fake a southern accent. And you just made an imitation meal. And it sure as hell is no Frito pie! But that black sister said, It ain’t gonna slide down easy if it ain’t cheesy. I truly think that this woman comes from California. Too many poor “cooks” in the world.
That dish looks good! With the cheese, meat, & Fritos I would definitely want a serving of this main course. Thank you for sharing this unique recipe. 🙂👍✨
I wonder what’s more expensive… The hamburger meat or the 3 bags of Fritos? I won’t include the risk for the onset heart attack. First time I’ve ever seen fake cheese in a can though. 🤢 Pet peeve? Someone that takes a fresh casserole and plunges into the middle of it to dip it out. No, we can’t be friends.
I haven't ever seen rustic cut cheese! I love it. I wish I could find it in my area. I am one of those people who cannot stand the taste of cilantro! It tastes like dish soap to me! I read an article in a food magazine about this. It said that people who do not like the taste of cilantro are "super" tasters.
When people don't know how to cook they make this kind of food, good example of unhealthy processed food. While it may be convenient, consuming ultraprocessed foods on a regular basis increases a person's risk of health complications including cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, obesity and type 2 diabetes.
No beans in Texas Frito Pie. No enchilada sauce in Texas Frito Pie. Only chili sauce used in Texas Frito Pie. They served Texas Frito Pie to us in school in Dallas in the 1960s. Chili-Mac was another favorite.... chili sauce with macaroni.
None of you new “California Texans” commenting have no idea the rich Texas history behind this dish. This is one of the most classic of TEXAS dishes, but in Texas we do a few things differently. In El Paso, they mix in a jar of Miracle Whip with the cheese and spread it out to make it tangy and refreshing. In Austin, they substitute the meat for Jiffy crunchy peanut butter. In Dallas, they substitute the Fritos for Lays salt and vinegar chips.
