Skillet Fritos Chili Pie

Yum

October 24, 2018 by Jodi | 4 Comments

This Skillet Fritos Chili Pie is hands down one of the best skillet meals ever. Loaded with beef, kidney beans and tomatoes, then topped with dollops of a cream cheese mixture. . . it seriously is killer!

In the world of skillet meals, this Skillet Fritos Chili Pie is currently at the top of my list.

You guys, this is so simple to make and crazy delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my boys inhale something so fast! 

This Fritos pie is packed with flavor and is most definitely comfort food at its finest!

Most Fritos pie recipes I’ve seen call for canned chili, but with this recipe, you make a basic, simple homemade chili that is so good. Now let’s talk about the cream cheese mixture you plop on top of this pie.

It’s cream cheese, sour cream and dry ranch dressing mix and it’s absolutely the star of the show here. It adds a creaminess and amazing flavor to this pie and takes it to a whole other level.

Now of course, the Fritos are also the star here. The saltiness and crunch they add just make this pie even more amazing. Like I said before, my boys literally inhaled this and probably would have each eaten the entire pan on their own if they could have. They would have had to fight me first for it though.This is going to become a favorite at your house, I can almost guarantee it!

    I have really enjoyed using a lot of your recipes! I have two boys at home and you seem to know what they like!! And I am going to try this recipe for lunch today, sounds so yummy. One thing, could you somehow put your name on the recipes you print. I like to know where they are from and like to tell people when they ask. But if I print of a recipe, it don’t take long and I forget where I got the recipe from unless it has a name on it. And believe me I use a lot of your recipes!! Thanks so much! Marilyn Y

      Hi Marilyn, it’s nice to hear from you. Thank you for the nice comment. I have no doubt that your boys will love this. My boys inhaled it and couldn’t eat it fast enough. When you print my recipes it should say the name of my blog on the top and bottom of the page. The top says the “name of the recipe” – 5 Boys Baker and then on the bottom of the page, it gives the full link where you can find the recipe. If you’re not seeing it when you print off my recipes, let me know.

    Hi jodi,
    I have made this 3 times now, so I thought I should leave a review.
    My family loves this. It reminds my husband of “Mexican haystacks” he had in school. I am going to start leaving reviews for your recipes, because I make them a lot, and my family enjoys the. Especially the desserts. Thanks for the good food!
