Cooking Light!-I don't think so-414 calories and 21.9g fat. The DH saw this one and wanted me to make it, so I did. It was good, but it sure didn't taste like any "frito" pie I have ever had. The DH said, "What, no beans?" I don't really remember beans in frito pie. I liked the taste of the meat though, but to me, it was more like taco meat than chili. I can think of many more satisfing things, for that many calories and fat grams, that I would rather have.

Cooking Light should probably change their name... maybe to Cooking Lighter... sometimes!:rolleyes:

Thanks, as always, for the review!:)

I made this, too, and have to second everything Terry said. I liked it but it didn't taste like frito pie to me, either. Given the portion size, it was a bit of a splurge. I would be more satisfied with a bowl of taco soup with a few fritos on top. But -- I did appreciate that it was an attempt at something a little different.
