- Finish with even more cheese on top.
- You can add hot sauce or other spices between the layers but DO NOT add salt, as the corn chips have plenty!

- Uncover and bake 5 minutes more to brown cheese on top.
- Serve promptly with sour cream and salsa on top.

Folks this is a truly authentic Texas invention, Frito Lay, Wolf Brand Chili and Kraft (cheese) all headquartered here, so this was a natural. I am here to give you a Texas twist on this. It is never necessary to bake Frito Pie, you can just mix the fritos, HOT chili, cheese and onion for a crunchy version. What we do here is make this directly in the bag, which is found here at fairs, football games, bbq's etc. Take a big grab package, turn it up on the skinny side, and cut a slit right into the long side of the bag. Then put in piping hot chili, onions and cheese, throw in a plastic spoon and go to town. This is great for kids, and it is a great conversation piece for anyone who has never had this or seen food served right in the bag. Then the "bowl" just goes right in the trash. yall enjoy
