Ingredients:
- 1 ½ lbs. Ground beef
- 1 cup Onion, chopped
- 3 oz. Cream cheese
- 1 Packet Taco seasoning
- 1 Can Green chilis
- 2-3 cups Fritos corn chips
- 1 cup Shredded taco blend cheese
- 1 Roma tomato, chopped
- 1-2 cups Lettuce, shredded
- Salsa and sour cream for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In an oven-safe skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat until the meat is browned and the onions are translucent.
- Season and Spice: Stir in the taco seasoning, green chilis, and cream cheese until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the mixture. This will infuse the beef with rich, spicy flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
- Layer and Bake: Spread a layer of Fritos corn chips over the beef mixture in the skillet, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded taco blend cheese. This creates a crispy, cheesy crust that adds depth to every bite. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the cheese to melt to gooey perfection.
- Finish and Garnish: Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and top the casserole with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes. This adds a refreshing contrast to the warm, savory flavors of the dish. For an extra burst of freshness, garnish with salsa and sour cream according to your preference.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into generous portions and serve hot, allowing everyone to dig into the layers of flavor and texture. Whether enjoyed as a comforting family dinner or shared with friends at a casual gathering, our Walking Taco Casserole is sure to be a hit every time.
