Ez Baked Frito Pie

This is great for times when you don't want to cook, but still want a hot meal. My dad has always made it, and over the years i have tweaked his recipe a bit. It is very easy to make, takes very little time, and the leftovers are great. It is a meal in itself, though i sometimes enjoy it with a couple of warm flour tortillas.

Steps

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees heat the canned chili and any optional ingredients on the stove.
Spread a thin layer of fritos along the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
Pour about half of the heated chili evenly over the bottom layer of fritos.
Completely cover the chili layer with a thicker layer of fritos.
Sprinkle about half the shredded cheese atop the fritos.
Pour the remainder of the chili atop the frito / cheese layer.
Completely cover the top chili layer with another thick layer of fritos , then sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
Bake in 350 oven for about 25-30 minutes , or until bubbly around edges and top cheese is melted.
Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
