Frito Casserole
Looking for a crunchy, meaty, and cheesy dinner? This layered Frito Casserole is delicious! Fritos are delicious! It was quick to put together and good to eat! We hope you like it!
Minute Rice is a great option for this recipes because it is so quick. However, you can definitely use long grain rice. They will both work perfectly and taste delicious.
I love to get the kids involved in making dinner. This is a great recipe for little kids to help with. They will love sprinkling the beans, olives, and the cheese on this casserole. Making food together is a great activity to do together as a family. Family is so important to us. Making memories together whenever we can means a lot to us. The kitchen, cooking or eating meals together helps keep us close.
We hope you all have a great week and we are so grateful for you visiting our blog and for your support.
