Chili Frito Pie
This is a classic American meal that always gets my family excited for dinner time. It is also a great recipe for busy nights, as it can be made in advance and quickly reheated. Once you add the chips and some shredded cheese to your bowl and mix with the hot chili, you instantly feel like you are at the ballpark (sans the sticky floors and flies!)
