FRITO PIE LOADED BAKED POTATO

For those unfamiliar, Frito Pie is a Texas tradition that sees a bed of Frito corn chips topped with chili, cheese and onions. It's salty. It's cheesy. It's amazing. And I feel it deserves a graduation from the bar counter to the dinner table.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
4 medium baking potatoes
Salt and ground black pepper
1 medium onion, finely chopped, divided
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup corn chips, such as Fritos

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the skins of the potatoes with about 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. While the potatoes are baking, place a heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Reserve a few tablespoons of chopped onion to garnish the finished potatoes and add the remaining to the pot along with the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and chili powder to the pot and continue cooking until the meat is browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, kidney beans, Worcestershire and 1 cup of water to the pot and bring the liquids up to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, season with salt and pepper, and simmer the chili until thickened, about 15 minutes. Reserve warm.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, carefully scoop the flesh out into a large mixing bowl, taking care to keep the skins whole and intact. Ladle about 2 cups of the prepared chili into the bowl with the potatoes and mash them to combine. Scoop the loaded filling back into the potato skins. Garnish the potatoes with the cheese, chips and reserved onions. Serve warm.

FRITO PIE BAKED POTATO

This is a spicy meal meant for singles or couples. It's delicious and a great comfort food! Even though it involves a baked potato, this is not a side dish - it's a full meal. Thanks to Bakers Brothers Deli for the inspiration! For me, this is way too much food, so I usually eat half of it for one meal and half later.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large baked potato
1 tablespoon butter (optional) or 1 tablespoon margarine (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can wolf brand chili with beans

1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 -2 tablespoon light sour cream
1 -2 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • In the microwave or oven, bake the large potato (leave the skin on before and after cooking).
  • While baking the potato, heat the chili on the stove top or in the microwave.
  • After cooking the potato until tender, chunk it with a fork removing any brown spots while adding in the butter.
  • Sprinkle the potato with cheese and pour on some of the heated chili. If necessary, heat the smothered potato in the microwave for 30 seconds or so.
  • Mix in the crushed Fritos and top with sour cream, jalapenos, and Tabasco sauce, all to taste.
  • Mix well, eat well, and tell your vegetarian friends and cardiologist that you'll die happy.
