Frito Pie

2009-04-27T16:24:00.000-07:00

This is something I grew up on and I loved it. Its one of those that my mom got from her mom and its been passed down. Plus it is a crock pot recipe so its easy. And who doesn't love it when Frito's are an essential part of a meal?
2 lbs ground beef- cooked drained and seasoned
1 large onion chopped
2 can chili beans
2 can mild enchilada sauce
Mix all and simmer for 2+ hours

Put this on top of your Frito's and then layered as desired
Possible toppings: Lettuce, tomatoes, onion, green peppers, cheese, sour cream or cottage cheese. I know the cottage cheese sounds weird but I think it is delicious and I love it! (I often replace cottage cheese as a topping instead of sour cream this and baked potatoes are my fav with cottage cheese)

Speaking of the tutu party I have had a few request for this recipe. I have posted it on my blog but here it is again just in case you haven't seen it.

Crust:1 c chocolate cookie crumbs
¼ c butter melted

Filling: 1 pkg cream cheese
¼ c sour cream
¼ c sugar
1 egg
¼ tsp almond extract

Coating: 2 ½ c semisweet choc chips
3 Tblsp shortening
2 oz vanilla almond bark (chopped)
1 tsp oil

Preheat 300°. Line 8x8 pan with foil. Grease foil. Mix crust and press into bottom of pan. Mix cream cheese, sour cream and sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg and almond. Pour over crust. Bake 30-40 min (edges should be set and center should be soft). Cool 1 hr on cooling rack then 1 hour in fridge.

Cover 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. Remove cheesecake from pan (just lift foil out). Cut 8x6 to make 48 bites. Microwave chocolate chips and shortening at 50% power for 3 minutes, stir then microwave at 15 sec increments until melted and smooth. Place 1 cheesecake bite of fork and dip into chocolate covering it (works best when bites are cold). Place on waxed paper. Then microwave almond bark and oil on high 1 min, stir and microwave in 15 sec increments until melted and smooth. Drizzle over bites.

I actually like to chop up my pineapple chunks so they are crushed.

How to make it:

STIR in barbecue sauce, ginger, garlic powder and reserved pineapple liquid. Add meatballs; mix lightly until evenly coated. Cook 10 min. or until meatballs are heated through, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook rice as directed on package.
STIR pineapple into meatball mixture. Serve over the rice.
