Add 2 tbsp. chili powder, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1 tsp. garlic salt and stir. Add 1/4 cup of water and the 8oz. tomato sauce. Add beans and stir. From here we start to layer the Frito chili casserole Once combined well add 1/2 to greased casserole dish. Top with Mexican cheese – approx. 1/3 cup. Add Fritos, then layer with rest of beef/bean mixture. Add rest of cheese and top with more Fritos!
