Another Taco Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Cook ground beef and onions in a skillet over medium heat until beef is browned, 7 to 10 minutes; drain grease. Stir in water and taco seasoning; cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add refried beans, salsa, olives, and green chiles. Cook and stir over low heat until ingredients are warmed through, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Place half of the taco shells in the bottom of the baking dish. Pour in half of the ground beef mixture; sprinkle with half of the Cheddar cheese. Repeat with remaining taco shells, ground beef mixture, and Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Brown beef in a large skillet and drain.
• Stir in taco mix, tomato sauce, and corn.
• Simmer about 5 minutes.
• Spoon mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Top with the cheese and tortilla chips.
• Bake about 5 or 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
• Serve with your favorite garnishes, such as chopped green onions, sour cream, etc.

Steps:

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

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, tomato sauce, taco sauce, chili powder and garlic powder., Divide chips among three ungreased 2-qt. baking dishes; top with beef mixture. Combine sour cream and flour; spread over top. Sprinkle with cheese, tomatoes and onions., Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-40 minutes or until heated through. Serve with shredded lettuce and additional taco sauce if desired.

Steps:

• Brown the beef in a pan with the onions. Drain fat and then using the taco seasoning from the taco kit, (or just a taco seasoning mix you like) prepare the hamburger according to those instructions, but then add the corn and black beans (drained) into the hamburger mix.
• Once browned and the taco meat is ready, take the soft taco shells and "butter" them with the refried beans. If you are doing this right, you won't use the whole can, this is for flavor, not to create a heavy dish.
• Cut the taco shells in half so they will go into a 6X9 glass baking dish. Put the flat sides of the cut soft shells against the sides of the dish, overlapping the round sides in the middle with the bean sides UP.
• Once the first layer of soft taco shells is on the bottom of your dish, put a thin layer of the hamburger meat over this layer.
• Take the hard shells and break them in half. Put them over the meat in the dish until fully covered.
• Put another layer of meat over the hard shells.
• Put another layer of the "buttered" soft shells over the meat.
• Put the remaining hamburger mix over the soft shells.
• Cover the hamburger with the cheese.
• Take the enchilada sauce and pour just a small amount around the edges of the entire dish. Don't pour this over the cheese; it is only for the edges. Let it seep into the dish, but don't smother it.
• Put in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
• While cooking, dice jalapenos into small pieces. I suggest seeding and taking the white ridges out first, but this is your choice.
• When the dish is done, put it aside for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• Cut into squares and serve, garnish with sour cream, salsa, jalapeno peppers, red peppers and black olives to taste.
• Variants:.
• Add more cheese between layers. This will make the dish much heavier, but if you like cheese, you will probably try this on your own anyway!
• Use spicy taco mix and spicy refried beans if folks will like it.
• I have also tried this with a corn meal pie crust instead of tacos, this is quite delicious, but you don't layer it, it is more like a meat pie.
