Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can corn
- 1 bag corn chips
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 1 small chopped onion. Cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess grease.
- Lower the heat. Stir in 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, and 1 drained can of corn. Mix well and simmer for 3–5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a layer of corn chips. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the chips and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with more chips, the rest of the beef mixture, and finish with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
- Place the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes. Bake until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
