Mexican Casserole

How to make Mexican Casserole

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef

15 ounce can ranch-style beans

1 can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained

1 can condensed cream of mushroom or chicken soup

12 ounce package corn tortillas

4 cups shredded cheese

3 tablespoons Taco Seasoning

1 bag Tortilla Chips on the side if desired

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly. Drain off excess fat if desired to keep the dish lighter.

Step 3: Prepare the filling

Stir in the taco seasoning, ranch-style beans, drained tomatoes with green chilies, and condensed soup. Mix thoroughly and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until heated through and well combined.

Step 4: Layer the casserole

Spread 1 cup of the beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Arrange a single layer of corn tortillas over the mixture.

Spoon half of the remaining beef mixture over the tortillas and spread evenly. Top with a generous layer of shredded cheese.

Add another layer of corn tortillas.

Spread the last portion of the beef mixture on top, then finish with the remaining cheese.

Step 5: Bake

Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 6: Serve

Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with tortilla chips on the side, if desired.
