SPICY FRITO CHILI PIE
Spicy Frito chili pie is so good and so easy.
This spicy Frito chili pie is a wonderfully quick weeknight meal your family will love. It is versatile in that you can add or take out any ingredients you don’t like. You can make it more or less spicy to suit your taste. This pie would also be good for any gathering or having friends over to watch a game or just visit. My family loves this recipe and we have it often. We like spicy but you can use more or less of any of the ones listed in the recipe.
