Description

A warm and comforting casserole featuring layers of beef, beans, cheese, and tortilla chips.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (16 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cups tortilla chips, crushed
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro


Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning. Mix well.
  3. Layer half of the crushed tortilla chips in your slow cooker. Add half of the beef mixture on top, followed by a layer of cheese.
  4. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortilla chips, beef mixture, and finish with a generous layer of cheese on top.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. Before serving, let it cool for a few minutes. Top with your favorite garnishes.

Notes

Feel free to swap black beans for pinto beans or replace cheese with a dairy-free alternative. For extra flavor, add fresh diced onions and bell peppers when browning the beef.
