Lisa’s Chili Cheese Frito Pie

July 27, 2016 by Lisa Pinney

This is one of my favorite and easy recipes to fix for your family or company in a pinch!

And for a bonus it’s also absolutely delicious!

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Spray your deep-dish pie plate with non-stick spray…

Open your roll of crescents and press evenly in pie plate and make a pretty crust edge…

Place about 1 cup of Chili Cheese Frito’s in the bottom of the crust…

Prepare the filling by cooking and draining 1 lb ground beef…

add it back to the skillet along with a package of taco seasoning and a can of Rotel …

cook on medium low heat for about 10 minutes until thickened and combined and add to the crust…

Add the cheese of your choice…

Bake for 25-30 minutes and it will be gorgeous like this !

Spread 3/4 cup of sour cream over the top…

Add the lettuce next…

Then with wild abandon, throw on tomatoes… Pico…green onions…cilantro…

Yes! That’s perfect!

Cut into wedges and enjoy!
