Pilsburys Southwestern Nacho Caserole Recipe

	Sparow64 / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago Found this on pilsbury.com. We love it. Easy, easy, and adaptable. We prefer the mexican flavored cheese, or, monterrey jack - both melt better than cheddar. Prep:15m Cook:40m Servings:8	Sparow64

Ingredients

2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef

1 cup water

2 envelopes (1.25 oz each) Old El Paso® 40% less-sodium taco seasoning mix

1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso® chopped green chiles

2 cans (16 oz each) Old El Paso® fat-free refried beans

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)

1 cup chopped tomato (1 large)

1/2 cup chopped green onions (8 medium)

1 can (2.5 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained

1 bag (12 oz) gold tortilla chips (extra thick)

Sour cream, if desired

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F.

Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain.

Stir in water and taco seasoning mix. Bring to a boil; cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in chiles.

Spread refried beans in baking dish. Top with ground beef mixture. Cover tightly with foil.

Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until bubbly around edges.

Remove from oven.

Uncover; sprinkle with cheese, tomato, onions and olives.

Arrange 18 to 20 tortilla chips around outside edges of baking dish. Return to oven; bake uncovered about 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

If desired, top with sour cream.

Serve with remaining tortilla chips for scooping.

*I cook the taco seasoning and chiles with the meat while it is browning, then add the water. Gets more flavoer into the meat. I also add red peppers.
