Easy Taco Casserole

An online recipe with instructions for making Easy Taco Casserole. This recipe is considered easy because it uses packaged tortilla chips instead of home fried tortillas.

Ingredients

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup of your favorite salsa
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 2 cups of crushed (or broken) tortilla chips
- 4 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces of shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

Mix in salsa, onion, mayonnaise, chili powder, and cumin into the beef. Remove from heat.

Spread about half the ground beef mixture into the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish.

Spread about half the tortilla chips in a layer atop the beef mixture.

Layer about half of each of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the tortilla chip layer.

Repeat layers with remaining ingredients, ending with Monterey Jack cheese.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted in the middle, about 30 minutes.
