Taco Tuesday Casserole

We love our Tex-Mex here at the cottage. Our Taco Tuesday Casserole is a giant taco in one pan. Baked to perfection with cheese, onion and crisp tortilla chips. We topped this one with some fresh avocado chunks and then of course our home canned salsa. This casserole goes together real fast and is on the table for a hungry family.

How To Make Taco Tuesday Casserole

We will start this casserole with draining and rinsing the beans.

In a large oven proof skillet, (I like my iron skillet) brown the ground chuck, onion's, garlic, and green bell peppers.

Add the chopped green chilies and tomatoes 

to the mix and stir well.

Add the beans and seasons to the casserole 

mix and stir until it is mixed well.

Spoon the casserole mixture into a prepared 9 X 13 baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the

 tortilla chips and sharp cheddar cheese.

Cover the casserole with the chips and cheese mixture.

Top with the remainder of the cheese. Then bake at 

375 degrees until the cheese has melted.
