I made this hearty, layered Southwestern casserole for a dinner meeting once, and now, I'm asked to bring it every time we have a potluck. Everybody loves the ground beef and bean filling, and crunchy, cheesy topping. âAnita Wilson, Mansfield, Ohio Ingredients:
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
2 large onions, chopped |
2 large green peppers, chopped |
2 cans (28 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained |
2 cans (16 ounces each) hot chili beans, undrained |
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained |
2 cans (11 ounces each) whole kernel corn, drained |
2 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce |
2 envelopes taco seasoning |
2 packages (13 ounces each) spicy nacho-flavored tortilla chips |
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, onions and green peppers over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, corn, tomato sauce and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes (mixture will be thin).
2. In each of two greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dishes, layer 5 cups of chips and 4-2/3 cups of meat mixture. Repeat layers. Top each with 4 cups of chips and 2 cups of cheese.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 2 casseroles (15 servings each).
