Simple to throw together for a lunch or supper. Next time I make this I'm going to not bake it, but instead just put the meat mixture on top of the chips while it is hot enough to melt the cheese that I'll sprinkle on top.

This is a great recipe! I added garlic, green pepper, mild green chilies and honey while cooking the beef. Since there are only two of us, I made individual casseroles. My husband used the rest of the filling in warmed tortillas adding sour cream and shredded cheese and said it was great. Thanks for an easy, tasty recipe.

I saw this recipe, tried it and loved it ...everyone loved it. "Dad" knew what he was doing! It's easy, convenient, quick and most of all tastes great!

I've made this for the family 3 or 4 times now and everyone loves it - teens and dad! I get tired of the same old recipes for ground beef/chuck so this is a wonderful, new idea to use it for. I do use more than 2 cups of Fritos (I just use the whole bag) as I make this in a 9 X 13 casserole dish. Also, I've made it with plain Fritos before and IMO the chili cheese Fritos definitely give it THE flavoring! Cheap, Fast comfort food!
