Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Layer the ingredients: Spread the beef mixture evenly over the Fritos in the baking dish.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef layer.
- Bake: Cook for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining Fritos, and top with sour cream, jalapeños, or chopped tomatoes for an extra kick.
