Pizza Supreme Frito Pie

Step 1
In a medium sized pot, heat canola oil, and cook the Italian sausage until browned.

Step 2
Place the cooked sausage in a bowl and set aside.

Step 3
Add the onion and garlic to the same pan, and cook until the onions are translucent.

Step 4
Add the mushrooms and bell peppers, and cook until tender.

Step 5
Deglaze the pan with the vegetable stock and add the sausage back into the pot.

Step 6
Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings, and bring to a boil.

Step 7
Reduce the heat to a simmer, and let the sauce reduce for approximately 30 minutes, or until it has reached a thick chili-like consistency.

Step 8
To assemble, cut a horizontal line, from top to bottom, down the center of each individual bag of Chili Cheese Fritos^®. Make perpendicular slits to the initial cut, to create a flap that can be pulled back to reveal the Fritos^® chips. Pour enough of the Pizza Sauce to coat all of the Fritos^®, and then garnish with diced mushrooms, pepperoni, bell peppers, and sliced olives. Finish with a sprinkle of the oregano, mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. An additional sprinkle of red pepper flake may be added to create a spicier Pizza Supreme Frito Pie.
