Cheesy Mexican Beef Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (15 ounce) can ranch-style beans
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can peeled and diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
  • 4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature setting, which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over a medium-high heat level, stirring occasionally. Add a blend of spices, including chili powder, to enhance the flavor and aroma.
3
Combine cooked ground beef with a mix of canned beans, tomatoes, and soup in the skillet. Stir everything together until it reaches a smooth consistency.
4
Prepare a 13x9 inch baking dish by lining its bottom with tortilla strips. Create the first layer of your dish using the meat mixture, followed by another row of tortilla strips.
5
Finish off with a final layer of the meat mixture, covering it completely. Top your dish with shredded cheese to add an extra layer of flavor and texture.
6
Place the prepared dish in a preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, allowing it to heat through and the cheese to melt.
7
Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
