- Number of Servings: 10
Ingredients
1 lb 93% lean ground beef1 package (abt 9 oz) original Fritos1 med can enchilada sauce1 can kidney beans, drained2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Brown ground beef, drain.
Add enchilada sauce and kidney beans and simmer on medium heat 5 to 10 minutes. (the longer it simmers, the more it reduces and the thicker the sauce.)
Layer about 3/4 of the package of Fritos in a deep casserole dish. Next layer all of the beef mixture. Sprinkle with about 1 1/2 cups cheese. Add remaining Fritos (I usually use just under the full bag.) and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Why didn't I think of adding veg? lol... I guess I'm just used to how my mom made it. Mushrooms and corn sound good to me, too. :) Thanks! :) I usually chop a big onion and cook it with the ground beef. I love onions!

THE CALORIE COUNT ON THIS IS NOT CORRECT!!!!
Was the meal good? Yes it was, but for a meal that turned out to be almost 4 times more calories than stated it is very ubsetting. I am trying so hard to lose weight only to find this recipe and now be over my calories. from now on I will calculate 1st - 3/15/09

I've gone back through and the recipe calculator had the wrong information on the fritos, but when I corrected it, it only raised the calorie count by 30 and the fat by 2g. So, unless you used regular beef instead of 93% lean I don't see where you find 4 times more calories. Please let me know...
