Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Create the base by spreading ¾ of the Fritos in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion for 7–10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

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.
