Frito Pie

Normally I make frito pie using Wolf Brand Chili (with beans). Tonight was an exception to the rule. I recently purchased Progresso Chili. My boyfriend has been requesting frito pie for quite sometime now; with his allergies acting up, I figured today was the day! I used the Smoke House Pork and Beef Chili with beans for this particular frito pie dish. Simply pour the bag into a frying pan and heat over medium stirring occasionally. Upon placing the chili in the frying pan, I quickly realized it wouldn't be quite enough for our appetites. Unfortunately, I didn't have any red beans to add to the mix so I grabbed a can of Bush's Black Beans. They worked just as well!
Into the bowl frito chips went. I used the H-E-B store brand. I forgot to pick up some shredded cheese from the store today, but I did have some Borden slice pepper jack cheese acquired solely because of a rebate on Ibotta for Wal-Mart. The cheese itself cost $1.88 and the rebate is a total of $2.50 making it a $.62 moneymaker (before tax)! I tore up a slice to place on the fritos, topped with chili, and again with more cheese.
Stamp of approval received from my boyfriend!
