In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chili layer.

Add the remaining Fritos on top, followed by the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
