Frito Pie

My mom made chili this week and after seeing Miss V’s frito pie I felt the need to re-create the frito pies I used to enjoy from Sonic.

So I got a big bowl and put fritos in the bottom, added the chili and then topped it with cheez sauce.

For the sauce I shredded up some Follow Your Heart chedder cheese and melted it in a small sauce pan and added plain soy milk until I got the consistency I wanted. It really satisfied my craving.

My mom makes great chili. She used to use meat, but when I went vegetarian she just doubled the beans. It’s really good.
