Bachelor’s Delight

Main course

This is a recipe that my grandma Frehner made for the family when we all got together. It's super simple, makes a lot of food and fills tummies. In 1965 my mom (Patrice Miller) went to visit her uncle Graeme Frehner and his family in California. After a fun afternoon on the beach they made this yummy taco salad they called Bachelor’s Delight. It has been a family favorite ever since. The perfect meal for large groups. Its very easy to make and so yummy!

Depending on size of group you are feeding add cans of chili to a pot and warm. I like to add black beans and 1 can of diced tomatoes but those things are optional. Once warmed, layer Fritos first, chili, cheese, radishes, olives, ketchup or salsa and sour cream.
