“Layers are born in patience—never rush the stack.”
Grease dish with bacon grease (not oil—oil burns).
Bottom layer: Fritos (frozen) → press gently (not packed—creates air pockets).
Middle layer: Meat mixture → spread evenly (not dumped—steams = soggy disaster).
Top layer: Shredded cheese → press lightly (not sprinkle—floating = burnt edges).
Critical: Do not stir—this is non-negotiable (needs room for crust formation).
3. Bake with Precision (The Grand Finale)
“A crackle is a promise—no crackle is a sin.”
Heat oven to 175°C (test with hand—3-second hold = perfect temp).
Bake 15-20 mins on lowest rack (not middle—top burns cheese).
Test: Cheese bubbling at edges (not liquid center—underbaked).
Rest 15 mins off heat (steam = soggy crust; patience = crackly top). Critical: Never skip this!
4. Serve with Awe (The Offering)
