    Title: Frito Pie
    Categories: Beef, Beans, Herbs, Cheese, Vegetables
    Yield: 7 servings

    1 tb Olive or vegetable oil
    1 lb Ground beef, preferably
    20 Percent fat
    1 md Yellow onion, diced
    1 oz Env taco seasoning
    30 oz (2 cans) pinto beans;
    - drained rinsed
    19 oz Can red enchilada sauce
    18 oz Bag Fritos; 1 cup reserved
    - for serving
    8 oz Shredded Cheddar

    MMMMM-----------------------TO SERVE (OPT----------------------------
    Diced white onion
    Sliced scallions
    Pickled jalapenos
    Sour cream
    Pico de gallo

    Set the oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

    Coat a 9" X 13" baking dish with cooking spray.

    In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed skillet, heat
    the oil over medium-high. Add the beef and onion,
    breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring
    occasionally, until the meat is browned and the onion is
    translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat if the meat
    is browning too quickly.

    Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat mixture and
    pour in 3/4 cup of water; mix well. Bring to a simmer
    and cook until the liquid thickens and coats the pan,
    scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the
    beans and enchilada sauce, stirring until combined.
    Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

    Assemble the pie: Sprinkle half of the Fritos in the
    prepared baking dish, followed by half of the Cheddar.
    Cover with all of the meat filling. Finally, add the
    remaining Fritos (minus the reserved cup) and Cheddar.

    Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 7 to 10
    minutes. Rest for 5 minutes, then add the desired
    toppings to the casserole, or spoon into individual
    bowls and have eaters top as they please. Add reserved
    Fritos for more crunch, if desired.
