Layer: Grease 9×13 pan with bacon grease. Bottom: Fritos (frozen) → press gently. Middle: Meat mixture. Top: Cheese → press lightly.
Bake: 175°C lowest rack 15-20 mins → rest 15 mins off heat.
Serve: Scoop into pre-warmed bowls. Top with lettuce + tomato + salsa + sour cream.
Notes

Always rest casserole 15 mins—steam = soggy crust.
