Gameday: Crockpot Frito Pie

Frito Pie is one of those classic childhood meals that never fails to bring back fond memories. (It’s right up there with Dunkaroos, Bubblegum tape, and Surge. Hey, whatever happened to 3-D Doritos?!) As a kid, there was something about being able to create my own delicious dinner and spoon the warm chili over the baked corn chips and then top everything with cheese and sour cream that made these dinners extra fun.

This meal falls under my list of recipes that are inexpensive, easy to throw together, and can feed a crowd. Plus, everyone can customize their meal to their own preferences – just have all the toppings in several containers assembly-line style! It’s ideal for gamedays and the holidays, and best of all, I love that I can toss all the ingredients in a slow cooker and have it ready to go by dinner time. And if I’m not in the mood for all the extras topping, I can enjoy a simple bowl of chili. Simple prep, no mess, and easy cleanup? Sounds like music to my ears!
