Beef and Bean Taco Casserole image

Food Network Kitchens nicknamed this the "broken enchilada" casserole because the soft layer of cooked tortilla chips on the bottom reminded us of enchiladas. But this dish is much easier to make!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing dish
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cups shredded Cheddar and Monterey jack blend
3 cups shredded Cheddar and Monterey jack blend
1 cup sour cream, stirred well for easy dolloping

1/2 avocado, diced
1/4 cup pickled jalapenos, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef and sprinkle with the chili powder, cumin, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes more. Add the beans, salsa and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer; cook until the sauce thickens and coats the meat, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. (This beef-and-bean mixture can be made up to a day ahead of time.)

  • To reheat: Bring back to room temp. Bake at 375 degrees F until bubbly, 50 to 60 minutes; top with homemade or store-bought Fried Onions.
  • Place the chicken in a large stockpot. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, lemon, bay leaf, peppercorns and the herb bundle; season with salt. Cover the chicken with water and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to a low, rolling simmer. Simmer 60 to 75 minutes, then cool the chicken in its stock. Strain the stock. Remove the chicken in large pieces from the skin and bones. Cut half of the meat into bite-size chunks. Thinly slice or pull the remaining meat.
  • Heat 2 to 3 inches of frying oil to 365 degrees F in a countertop fryer or in a deep medium pot over medium to medium-high heat. Separate the onion rings and soak in the buttermilk. Toss a few rings at a time into the flour and fry until crisp; drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining onions.
