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!
Pinned it! Why did my mom never make me this as a kid? Can’t wait to try it!
Yay! I thought of you as I was making it!! I hope you like it
I’m sure I will!
Wow this sounds so good! I love Frito pie! Thanks for bringing back memories and so yummy!

much love, Lynn
Jasmine, fond childhood memories of the foods we ate are just the best. Your chili sounds delicious, I love a good chili and the frito pie…OMW …I just have to try.
Thank you, sweet Lynne!! Yes, I love a good chili, as well! I hope you enjoy it!
I am sure I will. Have a lovely day.
Looks delicious. I think I need to try. But you will laugh now: I would need to buy a crockpot first
I have all those fancy pots and pans; And NO crockpot!
We will have to remedy this immediately!!
But I bet you could simmer this on low heat in one of your pans until you get your crockpot!
P.S. Your blog is lovely!
Thanks a lot. Yours Too
And I will take care of a crockpot!
Oh my gosh, YUM!!
Jasmine, this looks fabulous!
Thank you, Anna!!
