Ultimate Nachos Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning, or an equivalent amount of homemade taco seasoning
  • 2 cups salsa
  • 1 can ranch beans or chili beans in sauce, undrained
  • 3 cups crushed tortilla chips, stale chips are fine
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cups chopped tomato
  • 1 2.25 oz. can sliced black olives
  • 3 scallions, sliced
  • ¼ cup sliced pickled jalapenos, optional

Instructions

  • Cook diced onion and ground beef together until beef is no longer pink. Drain. Add the taco seasoning, salsa, and beans. Simmer for 10-15 minutes while the beef mixture thickens a bit.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9X13 casserole dish, and spread the crushed chips over the bottom of the pan. Alternately, grease two 8X8 pans and divide the casserole ingredients equally between the pans.
  • Spoon the ground beef mixture on top of the crushed chips. Spread the sour cream on top of the beef. Top with the cheese. Scatter the tomatoes, olives, scallions and jalapenos (if using) over the cheese. Bake uncovered 20-30 minutes, or until casserole is hot and the cheese is bubbly around the edges.
  • Ultimate Nacho Casserole freezes well after baking. To freeze, wrap in a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
