How to Make Ez Baked Frito Pie

  3. Pour half of the heated chili evenly over the Fritos layer.
  4. Cover the chili layer with a thicker layer of Fritos.
  5. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the Fritos.
  6. Pour the remaining chili over the cheese and Fritos.
  7. Top with a thick layer of Fritos and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  9. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with warm flour tortillas, if desired!
