Domestic Goddessery, Dinggy Style
Hey, y’all.
I’m sick of fuckin’ turkey. So here’s my Frito Pie recipe, Dinggy-style. It’s not low-carb, low-fat, healthy, or even all that interesting, but hot damn it’s good for the soul, and if you add a lil’ raw jalapeno or hot pepper sauce it should clear your sinuses completely. And quite possibly your bowels.
MAIN NGREDIENTS:
Big bag of Fritos
1-2 cans of Hormel or Wolf brand chili — these are the standard
Shredded cheddar cheese
OPTIONAL GARNISHES:
Chopped Bermuda onion
Cilantro
Sour cream
Salsa or pico
Hot peppers or raw Jalapenos
Texas Pete hot sauce
Heat up the chili in a pan on the stove, it tastes better that way than nuking it. Gently and perhaps even lovingly open the top of the Frito bag evenly across, and pour the hot chili inside. Shake. Dance briefly in your excitement.
Refocus. Then pour in some cheese to taste, shake firmly to distribute the cheese. Immediately pour the whole mess into individual bowls, top with whatever garnishes you like. I prefer a little sour cream w/finely-chopped Bermuda onion. Extra Frito chips on top tastes so good it’ll make you want to slap ya momma.
[Formal Version: Toss the Fritos into a bowl, pour a little heated chili on top, and then the cheese and other toppings. This is for fancy white-tablecloth dinners and suchlike, due the aesthetic appeal.]
