BEST CHILI CHEESE FRITO PIE

Steps:

• Season 70/30 ground beef with seasoning salt, garlic, black pepper, cumin and chili powder. Brown.
• Add in crushed tomatoes, onions, cilantro, tomato sauce and water.
• Let everything simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Place the Frito Lay Chips at the bottom of a casserole dish.
• Pour the homemade chili over the chips.
• Top the chili with cheese. (I like to use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese but mainly cheddar.)
• To add more color and flavor, add diced tomatoes and green onions on top of the cheese (optional).

CHILI CHEESE SHEPHERDS PIE

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground beef or turkey with the onion over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add all but 1 teaspoon of the chili seasoning and mix well. Set remaining seasoning mix aside. Stir in the tomatoes, beans and corn. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, until heated through. Reduce heat to low and simmer while making potatoes. For potatoes: Bring water, salt and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in milk and potato flakes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Place chili mixture into greased 2 quart casserole. Carefully spread mashed potatoes on top of chili. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and reserved chili seasoning. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
• 2. *This is the 4 serving size amount of potatoes, which is how I wrote the recipe for the contest. I actually prefer it with more potatoes(the 6 serving amount). Just adjust the other potato ingredients according to the instructions on the box of potato flakes. Also, instant potatoes is something I rarely actually have on hand, so when I make this for us, I usually use real mashed potatoes.
