Taco Casserole…..
This weekend is going to be a scorcher here (Washington State) hitting the 90′s by Sunday!
I don’t know about you but when it’s this hot I do NOT like to be in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove making dinner.
Below is an easy low cost taco casserole that hubs and I love. We substitute ground buffalo for the beef and actually eat this dish as a dip with additional tortilla chips as scoops!
Taco Casserole
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
1 – 16 oz. can Chili Beans in sauce, undrained
1 – 8 oz. can Tomato Sauce
2 Tbls. Taco Sauce or Salsa
2-4 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 cups Tortilla Chips, coarsely broken
8 Green Onions, chopped
1 Tomato, chopped
1 cup Cheese, grated
Heat oven to 350. In skillet cook beef until brown, drain. Reduce heat to medium and stir in chili beans, tomato sauce, taco sauce, chili powder and garlic powder. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Place broken tortilla chips in ungreased 1 1/2 qt. casserole dish. Top with beef mixture. Sprinkle with green onions, tomato and cheese.
Bake uncovered 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Arrange additional tortilla chips around edge of casserole dish if desired.
