Casseroles are usually an easy fix to feed a crowd. Today's recipe is one the kids will like since it includes the taste of tacos and nacho chips. It can also be a hearty appetizer by providing tortilla chips for dipping.
NACHO GRANDE CASSEROLE
2 lbs. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 (16oz.) cans spicy chili beans
16 oz. package frozen corn kernels, thawed
15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/4 pkg. taco seasoning mix
3 c. finely shredded Cheddar Jack cheese, divided
3 c. nacho-flavored tortilla chips, crushed and divided
Garnish: chopped tomatoes and green onions
Cook ground beef and onion in a dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain. Add beans, corn, tomato sauce and seasoning mix; stir until blended. Simmer over medium heat 10 minutes.
Pour half the beef mixture into a lightly greased 13x9 baking pan. Top with 1 1/2 c. each of cheese and crushed chips; top with remaining beef mixture and remaining 1 1/2 c. cheese and chips. Bake uncovered, at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes and green onions, if desired.
