Cha-Cha's Nacho Pie...

I asked our granddaughter, ChaCha what she wanted to make for dinner on a recent sleep over...Her first and very eager response was Nacho Pie! She had stayed at a friends house a while back and that's what they had for dinner! She described the ingredients and we started creating! This turned out awesome...and the reruns (leftovers) were just as good. Quick, Easy and full of Flavor!

9. Layer the remaining crushed Doritos's on top of the cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25+ minutes, when the cheese is melted and the crust is browned.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Cut into pie wedges,

Serve with a green salad, and/or slices of avocado & tomatoes. Garnish with Sour Cream.

**On a side note: I loved how this pie cut easily and held its wedge shape...So good that the leftovers didn't last long!

 Beautiful presentation in the cast iron pan....ChaCha, ya did good!
