Totally kicks ass. It ranks right up there with cowboy beans and mexican meatloaf. No covered dish dinner would be complete without it around here!

[Jack The Riffer]

Yup at least once a week here.

Beats the hell out of chili with crackers for sure. I thought people everywhere ate frito pies.

Must be a Texas thing, cuz I grew up eating frito pies. Good stuff.

------------------------------
Update I just clicked on the link and let me just say the the Frito Pies that I have had in my lifetime look nothing like that. Those look kinda gay looking. The Frito pies I have had are basically just Fritos with chili-beans and cheddar cheese.

Frito Pie is not just a Texas thing... I've had them many places, and here for a long time.

Had my 1st Frito Pie back in 88. My dad's friend who had just gotten out of Prison, taught us how to make it. Seems it was a "specialty" of the cell chef, it could be made from things you could buy at the commisary. I also grew up in El Paso Texas, so maybe it started off at Huntsville?

Oh Krimson, I have been wanting to ask you, do you know Pat or Steve Vargas, and did you know Danny Ortiz?

I discovered Frito Chili-Cheese Pie at Sonic Drive-ins about 25 years ago; pretty damn good! They also have great Chili-Cheese Fries too, each a meal in itself if you can't spring for the burger!
