Tasty Tuesday: Green Chile Frito Pie (With no Canned Chili!)

I am pretty sure there is a limit to how many Frito pie recipes you need, and I know I posted one in May, but here is another good one to add to your meal planning. This one calls for black beans and green chili. I live in New Mexico where green chile is everywhere. Out of town guests have been know to pack quite a supply on ice before leaving town since many areas have none. You might be able to find jars of it at your store, but if not, here is one of many places online to purchase some made with New Mexico green chiles.

What you need:                                                                         

1 pound ground beef

2 cans black beans

16 oz jar of green chile

Bag of Fritos

Shredded Cheese

Chopped fresh tomato

Chopped onion (optional)

Brown the beef and drain. Add all the beans and liquid in black bean cans, and the entire jar of green chili. Let this mixture heat up and then simmer for about 30 minutes.

In each serving bowl, whether large or small, put a layer of Fritos topped with a layer of cheese. Spoon your hot (both kinds) mixture over the layers. You want to include the liquid… that part is good too. Top with more cheese, fresh tomato and onion, or not.

Yummy immediately or even the next day!
