EASY TACO CASSEROLE RECIPE

• Top the casserole with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until it's warm and the cheese is nice and melty. Meanwhile, prep the toppings.

Steps:

• Brown meat, onion and garlic in large skillet until no pink remains and onion is clear. Drain grease.
• Add spices, tomatoes, beans and corn and mix well.
• Continue to cook over medium heat until some of the liquid has evaporated. You want a little liquid but not alot- like a sloppy joe mixture.
• In an 8x8 greased pan crush a handful of chips and place on the bottom of the pan, adding more chips until you have a good layer. **** I like to get it as dry as possible here so that it holds together like a lasagna. PLEASE use your taste and judgment here and make it as dry or as liquid as you like. :)
• Layer meat mixture on top of chips.
• Crush some more chips and place on top of meat. Press down on chip layer to draw some moisture into the top layer of chips.
• Top with cheese.
• Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until cheese is thoroughly melted.
