QUICK & EASY TACO BURGER CASSEROLE
A new twist on an old favorite! Feeds a family of 6-8, and is great on a cold winter night. I came up with this recipe when I was trying to get my husband to eat more family-style casserole dishes (he's not a fan of casseroles). I served it right out of the oven, bubbling hot, with a slice of crusty french bread and a small dinner salad. He ate three helpings and told me that I should definitely put "that one" in my recipe box.

This is what I would serve at a typical supper here at my house when I am pressed for time and need something fast and filling. I have used ground turkey or ground chicken with great results but there is no reason that you could not use plain old ground beef. Hope you like it!

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large skillet, brown meat and drain off fat. Stir in beans, tomatoes, onion, taco seasoning, soup and water. Simmer over medium-low heat until everything is well combined and heated through. Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Put down a layer of crushed tortilla chips, followed by a layer of the meat/bean mixture, then half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat layers. Cover with foil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until bubbly. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and salsa.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients will give your taco casserole the best flavor. If possible, use fresh ground beef, fresh vegetables, and fresh spices.
- Don't overcook the ground beef. Overcooked ground beef will be tough and dry. Cook the ground beef until it is just cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Use a variety of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your taco casserole. Use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, corn, and black beans.
- Season the casserole well. Use a variety of spices to season your taco casserole, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and garlic powder.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a taco casserole. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, or pepper Jack cheese.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. The casserole is done baking when it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
