Some advice for a simple frito pie cookout

sour cream or cilantro or pico de gallo

Sure...it's a frito pie...don't over think it.

I was thinking of just mixing in some brisket in my chili

Sounds like a good fun item.

When I was a scoutmaster, we would do frito chili pies for the scouts on campouts. We made chili, or bought #10 cans of Carnation chili and a case or two of single serving bags of fritos. The scouts would take a bag, open it and one of the adults would spoon in the chili. Then they would add cheese, or chopped onions, or (never) sour cream. We had 80 scouts in our troop and had to be very careful that before the last scout passed by the serving line, the first scouts would be sneaking back into the rear of the line. It was a difficult meal to serve, only because it was hard to make second servings for 80 scouts.


Some of your folks might want picante sauce or jalapeños. Some might want pepperjack or colbyjack.

May be better to stay simple.

That's all I got.

Sounds like a fun thing to do. I'll refrain from bumping the famous chili thread.

I think toppings add to the fun. A create your own frito pie. All those colorful toppings out would be enticing.

I would add guac to the list of toppings already suggested.

Sour cream and pico yes.

If you’ve got low carb/keto, or other corn chip avoiding folks, offer shredded lettuce and cooked, drained beans as substitute bases to carry the chili and toppings.

corn chip avoiding folks should be eating elsewhere

It’s a frito pie at a bar. I say cheese, sour cream and jalapeños. Maybe they get diced onions.....depends on the beer selection.

They're also 10oz so a lot more chips than single serve sized named brand.

yeah the single serving Frito bags have like ten Fritos.
the pro move is to dump one bag into another then pile on the chili/etc

we are burning a big pile of limbs in the yard tonite, now we are having Frito pie
