      I love Frito pie! I have never baked mine though. I will have to try it that way next time. I use lettuce, kind of more like a frito pie salad instead maybe lol. That way I guess I can say it's healthy right lol. I also like to add sour cream on top.

      Ah, Frito pie. Memories of living in Texas flood back to me. I don't bake it because I want the crunch--and sometimes I do still eat this in the frozen north.

      Well, I'd take this frito pie over being right any day. I like frito pie, but have never made it myself. Had no idea it was this easy! Oh...and green onions. My addiction!
