Frito pie bar from Cravings - Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat (page 148) by Chrissy Teigen and Adeena Sussman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute pepper Jack cheese for cheddar cheese. Calls for 1 oz snack size bags of Frito corn chips.

    Made John’s Chili twice. One was amazing and once it came out too salty and I don’t know what I did wrong. Will make again and do a taste test when adding salt.

    This was just awesome. It's nothing ground-breaking, but served with my homemade Chili Colorado, Tillamook Cheddar Cheese, guacamole and crema mexicana, it was a taste explosion. Why didn't I try this earlier? Sometimes you need a recipe to point out the deliciousness right in front of you.

    John's Chili recipe should probably be listed separately, not just as part of Frito Pie Bar.

    We ate this in bowls, not individual bags of Fritos. It was really good. The chili benefits from longer simmering (I simmered it for an hour) to meld the flavors and reduce the liquid. It's also better the next day. I used a whole 8 oz package of mushrooms. They aren't really identifiable in the finished chili - just add extra meatiness without more actual meat. The chili spice depends on the type of chili powder and cayenne pepper you use, so you can adjust to your taste.
