Taco Bake

We originally got this recipe from a casserole book, but I made a few changes and it's become one of our favorites! It can be used to fill taco shells, as a taco salad type dish, or as a dip.

For a larger meal, double the ground beef and taco seasoning. You also might want to use a bigger pan. Continue with the rest of the ingredients as is, making changes as you see fit to make it more proportionate. I tend to eye most of these ingredients, but it's really pretty easy :)

1 lb ground beef
About 1 cup medium-hot salsa
1 can hot chili
Corn chips
Sour cream
Grated cheese (we like the four cheese mexican mix)
1 Medium tomato
1 can olives
Green onions
Flour tortillas (taco or burrito)
  • Pre heat oven to 350.
  • Brown ground beef, drain, and prepare with taco seasoning according to seasoning package.
  • Mix in chili and salsa until heated.
  • Meanwhile, slightly crush corn chips and put in bottom of 9 x 13 pan. The layer sould be 2-3 chips thick.
  • Pour beef mix over chips.
  • Spread sour cream over top of beef mixture, use as much as you need to create a nice layer.
  • Sprinkle grated cheese over top of sour cream.
  • Chop tomato, olives, and green onions and spread of top of dish as desired.
  • Place dish in oven long enough for the cheese to begin to bubble.
  • Serve with tortillas or more corn chips.
