::GIVEAWAY CLOSED:: Congrats to Carol Dziuba (@cdziuba) for this tasty recipe:
Frito Salad:
Ingredients
3 to 4 green peppers, diced
4 stalks, celery, diced
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 large bottle (16 fl. oz) Catalina Free dressing
1 can sliced olives
4 green onions, diced (tops and most of bottom)
3 to 4 tomatoes, diced (I remove most of seeds)
2 cans kidney beans, drained
1 large (15 oz.) package of Fritos
Directions
Combine all ingredients except Fritos. Chill. Prior to serving, add corn chips, or get Big Scoop Fritos and use salad as a dip.
I like to use less dressing than the recipe calls for–I just eyeball it until salad is coated.
32 1/2 cup servings
Number of Servings: 32

Football season is finally here…and everyone knows that game day just isn’t complete without the ultimate tailgating party! Whether it’s with a group of friends huddled outside the stadium or the family gathered around the TV in the den, tasty food and snacks are essential to a “winning” tailgating experience.
Tailgating for most of us conjures images of greasy pizza and saucy wings. With a little vision and planning, you can score big by offering a menu that’s just as delicious but a bit better for you.
Fewer penalties, better tailgating…
We know few people go to tailgate parties for the veggie – it’s definitely a time to indulge and enjoy. But it doesn’t have to be a total eating catastrophe. At Frito-Lay, our portion control sizes make it easy to enjoy all your favorite treats – in moderation. And simple “tricks” like offering dips made with reduced-fat sour cream or that offer positive nutrition like salsa or guacamole, cooking with lean turkey meat and fat-free refried beans can cut hundreds of calories off your meals and still taste great for you and your hungry fans.

My favorite tailgating food is pretty simple nachos. We use aluminum foil to make a pouch of nachos, cheese, and meat then put it on the grill until toasty. After, you can add sour cream, salsa, black olives, etc to taste. It is always a fan favorite. Thanks!

Found this yummy recipe online for Chocolate Fritos Candy!
–1 stick of butter
–12 oz bag of chocolate chips
–2 T peanut butter (optional if you have allergies)
–1/2 cup brown sugar
–1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
–2 cups Fritos
–2 cups Pretzels
Put the Fritos and the pretzels in a large Ziploc and smash until crumby. Set aside.
Line a 9 x 13 or so cookie sheet with Release foil or parchment paper. Set that aside, too.
Put the butter, the brown sugar, peanut butter, and chocolate chips into your crockpot and set on high for 1-2 hours or until everything is really melty and you can mix it well.
Stir in your pretzel and Frito pieces. Using oven mitts, dump the hot candy out onto your lined cookie sheet and spread out with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle the peanut pieces on top.
Put the pan in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until candy has set completely. Break into pieces.

My family has always made a mean Frito chili! Although I never learned the recipe because I’m not the greatest chef in the world…I believe we crush the Fritos until they’re crumbs and simply mix them with a favorite chili.
