Beef Nacho Casserole

I found this little jewel in my PDA cookbook program. A quick search of the net shows it to be very popular. We used hot salsa and topped with sour cream. The whole family really enjoyed this and said they want it placed in regular rotation now. Think of it as kind of a Mexican Shepherds Pie.

This nacho casserole is a simple meal to whip up in less than an hour that even the kids are sure to love. Layers of seasoned ground beef, corn, and tortilla chips are baked under a layer of Colby cheese.

Ingredients

Directions

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain.

Stir salsa, corn, salad dressing, and chili powder into the skillet until well combined.

Layer 1/2 of the ground beef mixture in an ungreased 2-quart casserole dish; top with 1/2 of the tortilla chips and 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat layers once more.

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven, until heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Recipe Tip: Monterey Jack can be used in place of Colby cheese.
