How to Make Donna's Taco Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat; drain off any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes (undrained), kidney beans, Rotel (undrained), and corn. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the tortilla strips.
  5. Spread the beef mixture evenly over the tortilla strips.
  6. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
  7. Top with the remaining tortilla strips.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and green onions, if desired.
