We call these "Frito Boats"... We slice down the long side of a frito single serve bag. Scoop in the chili, you can add what you like, IE: sour cream, cheese, onions, etc. We eat them camping, but they started at the snack shack during race season. Love them! (oh, I just don't get why some people rate a recipe they a: have never tried; or b: that they would prefer to make so many changes to it that it actually might be called something else. )

I have made haystacks for many years. Like many others, I prefer home cooked beans with onions, garlic, various seasonings and cooked for at least 3 hours to make a nice soft bean. (Black beans are my favorite). Sometimes instead of the chips, or along with them, I cook up some brown rice. It is an easy and can be healthy dish...just depends on the ingredients you use.

Wow, this is a recipe! Who knew. I've been making this for over 30 years, usually the first night of our camping trip, with the veggies already cut up. Heat the chili and we were ready to go. The kids loved it too!

Any recipe that calls for canned chili is really not worth making. I made it with home made chili and it was good. However, as written, it is poor.

This is wonderful on camping trips or even in the car on a trip. Just make it in the chip bag. I do vary the toppings to suit my family. I love the versatility of this. Thank you. I do hate when people complain about the nutrition. If it is too much for you then don't make it. Just don't try to shove your opinion down everyone's throat.

We love Haystacs...my kids ask me to make them at least once a month. I throw a couple pounds of beans in the crock pot the night before....and when we get back from church we all chip in chopping the veggies, we also have avacados and chopped onions. I make my own cheese sauce using a blender and blending till smooth and creamy. Raw cashews, pimentos, brewers yeast flakes (you can get at any health food store), onion powder, salt and lemon juice to taste...mmm mmm good and so healtyh!
