I buy about 5 lbs of ground chuck at a time at the market. I bring it home, brown it, drain it, cool it and then place it in zip lock bags with a date on it to freeze. I never have to brown my ground meat it's already done. A real time saver after work or school and it really does not take a lot of time but it saves a lot of time!!
Thank's for your . Frito casserole recipe . Quick and easy meal to fix . And looks delicious . I bet it would be good . With black beans are pinto beans . Drained and rinsed the beans . You And Family . Have A wonderful Evening .
Tip: Ro-Tel Tomatoes and Green Chiles - You can get Mild or Hot, 10oz. cans, and adjust for the degree of hot/spicy caliente you like. (I like it mild, but my mom and great-grandmother were chili-heads.) I like the salsa addition. Some chopped green bell pepper would be nice. -- That meat chopper is a neat tip, getting that. -- This idea, either for the Frito pie or a soup, is really great. It has been so, so long since I fixed Frito pie. (My mom's version, yes, had diced hot dogs and not these ingredients. I like this one.) A small amount (maybe half a cup or a whole cup?) of cooked pinto beans might work too.
Hi Cathy I just whated to say I appcalutely love your show and you're whole family I watch you're videos for hours please keep up the great work ps keep a cookin stay cool and be safe
Finally a cooking channel that I can relate too! I've already made a few of your recipes SOOOO good and easier than most other cooking channels I've seen! Crock pot cheesy potatoes to die for!!
I agree! Finally a cooking site that I can relate too, all the ingredients are ones that I ether have on hand or are as close as the store 8 mi. Away! That kind you thank you thank y’all!
I grew up (born 1955) eating what my mother called Frito pie/casserole. She did not use ground beef. Everyone seems to use ground beef )-; She used only chili (brick chili), onion, cheese, and of course Fritos.
Yes me too when young I used to make it everyday n the Family started sayn SO What's for Dinner ? And Mom said "Meatloaf" or "Fried Chicken" & then well.i didn't make it anymore cos I made it everyday n always n now way older and Craving it but I USED to make it everyday MOM Taught me to Use the Brick Chile. I don't like the hamburger cos it does have oil. Gets mushy everyday & Used Grated Cheese 😋
I was also born in ‘55. We loved the little Frito pies we got at our one little burger place. They were made in the Frito bag. At home we just used purchased chili, Fritos onion,and cheese.
I have to tell you Catherine I have cooked all my life …… until I found your channel month’s ago I had never seen anyone drain the grease with paper towels …… !! That is so smart ! That’s the only way I do it now …… no more messy pan draining !!!
I used to make something very similar to this and it was delicious! Everybody loved it! Add a nice green salad and a margarita, (just kidding), more like some tea with lemon!
enjoyed the paper towel tip and i love onions so i would add even more onions !!! and pinto beans for fiber and cilantro 🌿 because thats a flavor i like
Great idea on draining the grease! Yummy Yummy Yummy 😋 frito pie.you can make individual ones by putting your mixture and toppings in those snack sized bags of fritos.
Catherine - looks wonderful - think I'll make this for when my whole clan gets together along with a salad and something cool and refreshing for a dessert! Thanks so much!
Great looking recipe. For my taco soup, I add hamburger, onions, canned: corn, red kidney beans, diced tomatoes, diced chilies or salsa and 1 can of tomato soup and about 1 soup can of water and taco seasoning. Tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream and chopped onions finish it off. Kids love it because of the tomato soup. Yummy. Btw, I made your taco spaghetti last night and the family loved it. Thank you.
I bought everyone on my Christmas list one those hamburger choppers. Everyone was thrilled. Those choppers hadn’t caught on in my neck of the woods here in Indiana. Thanks for the idea. 😘
I made this tonight for dinner and the only thig different i did was i add some ranch powder to it also but i must say OMG this is delicious. Thank you for the video
I have been watching a lot of your videos and your website. I couldn't take it anymore. I ordered a meat chopper. ;-) My friend had a big Yellow Lab that loved Fritos too. She could be sound asleep and if she heard the rustling of that Frito bag she would come running! So funny!
We loved walking tacos at grandsons little league games made with small bag of Fritos then add beef, cheese, sour cream and lettuce and eat out of the bag.
Love Mexican recipes. I live in Colorado and it is like every other restaurant is a Mexican. It looks good the only other item I would had seasoning wise is dehydrated Pueblo chilies. We love hot dishes. Will be making it soon.
That looks good. It’s amazing how something as simple as the meat chopper can make life so much easier and faster. With my arthritis it just make it wonderful and you wonder how we ever made it without the silly tool.
Thank you for your recipe for making Frito casserole. We are going to making it this Memorial Weekend. We are having family over. And I think they will enjoy it.
I usually spoon the grease off - hadn't thought about using a paper towel - great idea! I watched another recipe video like this - she just mixed the grease in with the meat and onions. yuck!
Love the meat chopper. Best investment ever. Got mine @ the dollar tree. Bought 4...for family & they LOVE them. This was a very yuuuummmmmy meal. Grandchildren were asking for seconds. ❤️🌹🙏🌹😷

I’m almost out of my homemade seasoning and I have half packages of the chicken taco, it’s basically the same ingredients, and I had to compare some spices, they add stuff we do not need in the package! And the chilli package is basically the same!! Lol crazy, I’ll stick with making my own!

So funny!

We loved walking tacos at grandsons little league games made with small bag of Fritos then add beef, cheese, sour cream and lettuce and eat out of the bag.
