Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 green pepper, chopped

  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 (10-ounce) can corn, drained

  • 1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning mix

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup salsa

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.

  3. Add onion and green pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  6. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, and cilantro.

  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. Serve with tortilla chips.

Tips

  • You can use any type of ground beef for this recipe. I like to use a lean beef, but a fattier beef will give you more flavor.

  • If you don't have taco seasoning mix, you can make your own. Just combine 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.

  • You can also add other ingredients to your nachos casserole, such as shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, or pickled jalapeƱos.

  • This casserole is best served hot and fresh, but it can also be reheated.

Conclusion

Nachos casserole is a delicious and easy one-pan meal that is perfect for a casual get-together or a lazy Sunday night dinner. It's sure to please everyone at your table!
