Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a deep-dish pie plate and preheat the oven to 425°F before baking.
  • If you don't have a deep-dish pie plate, you can use a regular pie plate and just add more layers of ingredients.
  • Be generous with the cheese! A good amount of melted cheese will help to hold the pie together and make it extra delicious.
  • If you like, you can add a layer of cooked ground beef or turkey to the pie before adding the corn and beans.
  • To make the pie ahead of time, assemble it and then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake it, just let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Serve the pie with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Bethany's Frito Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chili or taco meat. With its crispy crust, flavorful filling, and gooey cheese, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
