Frito Taco Pie

Good afternoon bloggers! Last night I made a meal suggested by Stephie. She sent me the link before heading to work. It turned out to be one of my favorite recipes. It was so easy to compile together and it was delicious to boot! I kind of messed up though. Stephie brought salsa to top the pie off with and I completely forgot about it! What a goof, right? I'd say so. The only people who had no interest in this meal (surprisingly) were the kiddos. 2 out of the 3 refused to eat it completely, but kids will be kids. My son ate it only after I sat down and helped him eat it, but he did not protest. All in all, it was a delicious meal enjoyed by the adults.

That being said, I'm ready to share this recipe with y'all. Grab those aprons and meet me in the kitchen!
