1/4 cup milk
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain the fat and add the taco seasoning and water. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the meat is thoroughly coated in seasoning.
- Layer the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking dish with chili cheese Fritos. Spread the seasoned meat evenly over the Fritos.
- In a saucepan, heat the cheddar cheese soup and milk over low heat until warm. Pour the cheese mixture over the meat.

- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Scoop desired amounts onto plates and enjoy.
