Frito Pie with Homemade Chili

Lunch today was Frito Pie! Fall is the perfect time of year for this old time favorite! And, when made with homemade chili, it takes this heavenly concoction to the next level.

I am including the recipe for the chili my family has used for years.

Ingredients

3 lbs ground meat (or turkey)
1 tbsp flour
2 cans tomato sauce (8 oz)
2 cans ranch style beans
Garlic salt, to salt
Chili powder, to taste
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste


Directions

Brown ground meat (or turkey). Add chili powder and garlic salt; stir into meat. Add flour and stir well. Add tomato sauce and 6 cans water (using the tomato sauce cans). Mix well. Stir in beans. Simmer 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

**Add 1 1/2-2 tbsp cumin with garlic salt and chili powder for smoother flavor.


This is great stored and frozen for future use.


Great with crackers, on burritos, in enchilada casserole or on burgers!

Enjoy!
