Directions:
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Cook the Ground Beef
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. - Add Seasoning and Cream Cheese

Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded taco cheese on top. Spread the Fritos corn chips over the cheese layer, then top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese. - Bake the Casserole
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Add Toppings and Serve
