How to Make Favorite Taco Casserole
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced and the beef is cooked through.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread the beef mixture evenly in a greased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Crush 6 cups tortilla chips and sprinkle them evenly over the beef.
- Top with 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and top with 1 cup shredded lettuce, 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, and 1/2 cup your favorite salsa. (Optional: add sour cream and/or guacamole)
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 6.
