Quick and Flavorful Taco Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups crushed tortilla chips
  • 4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
In a large skillet, cook and stir ground beef over medium-high heat until it reaches a crumbly and browned state, taking around 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and discard any excess grease that accumulates.
3
Start by adding salsa, onion, mayonnaise, chili powder, and cumin to the skillet with the cooked ground beef. Stir everything together.
4
Place half of the seasoned ground beef mixture at the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Add a layer of tortilla chips on top, followed by half of the Cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat this layering process with the remaining ingredients.
5
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted throughout, taking approximately 30 minutes.
