The Texas Fried Frito Pie is the winner of the biggest food prize for this year's state fair.

Concoction creator Michael Thomas says he and his partners spent six months experimenting with different batters, chilis and chips.

Our family has always enjoyed baked Frito Pie. Easy do.
One layer crushed Frito
One layer of left over home made Chili
One layer of Cheddar Cheese or Mexican blend cheese.
Repeat all until you reach the top of your Casserole dish. Top with more cheese.
Bake at 350 until melted and brown on top.

That sounds good!
I've always done it the primal way.
Dump fritos in a bowl.
Slop chili on it, to cover.
Top with shredded cheese and onions, you're done.
In the absence of a bowl, slit open a small frito bag and use it as a bowl.

Looks like a dipping food to me.
To me, it looks like those scrotes that Andrew Zimmern chows down on.

Why am I assuming you’re heating up the grease right now?

To: Rightly Biased
a Highschool football game classic food. HELL yes.
And a campfire-out-by-the-creek food.
In fact, I can't hardly think of any place I wouldn't like a bag-o-pie.
