A Different Kind of Pie...Made with Fritos

Hosted by Evan Kleiman Jul. 07, 2012 Food & Drink

Lisa Fain writes the blog Homesick Texan and she has a recent cookbook of the same name. She explains that Frito Pie is not a pie at all. Instead it's a bag of Fritos with chili poured on top. You eat the chips and chili straight from the bag.
